Yes, if it should show more than just resources and/or Java elements.
There is currently a proposed item on the 3.0 plan which is targeted at
your needs: General Purpose Navigator.

You can
- use all the public API components which the Package Explorer itself uses
- contribute your filters to the Package Explorer
- adapt your model elements to Java elements or resources to let them
show up in the Package Explorer

No, you should not extend it since it is internal and can change at any
time. But yes, create your own view.

Parts are contributed by a plug-in and not the other way around. Since
you have your own model elements you probably aready have a plug-in. You
can create a your own "Navigator" in your plug-in. Eventually you may
want to separate UI and model into different plug-ins.

See IAdaptable interface and for example code have a look at the adpter
factories in JDT UI plug-in.
