HI @rp_st, I'm planning to write my own recipe for my usecase and modify the supertokens core and use it for my purpose by exploiting the functionalities it has, I'd like to get some insights from you. 1. Using the core as a jar in my project and extending/overriding functionalities is good? 2. what is the use of EE package? 3. if not core as jar, is it okay to extend the recipe in core itself?

hey @vigneshkumar5238 1. Yea, you can modify the core as you like (the open source parts of it) 2. The EE package is to feature gate some of the paid features. You shouldn't modify the code here - otherwise you would be breaking the license.

So If I want to use core as a jar in my project, I can ignore the plugin interface and also EE modules right? or they are needed?
r
u can't use it just as a jar
v
Why is that? If I have my own api implementation over the core, it is possible right?
r
i have no idea what you are trying to do unfortunately. The core is designed to be a microservice and can't be embedded into an existing jar project.
