By "override it in your policy product", Jean means "create your own
product in the filesystem, specifically in the zinstance/src/ folder if you
installed with the Plone Unified Installer.

By "create your own product", you need to choose a project name, like
"myproj.policy" and run the ZopeSkel tool. It may look like the following:

$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ cd src
$ ../bin/zopeskel plone

plone: A project for Plone add-ons

This creates a Plone project (to create a Plone *site*, you probably
want to use the one of the templates for a buildout).

To create a Plone project with a name like 'plone.app.myproject'
(2 dots, a 'nested namespace'), use the 'plone_app' template.


This template expects a project name with 1 dot in it (a 'basic
namespace', like 'foo.bar').

Enter project name: myproj.policy

If at any point, you need additional help for a question, you can enter
'?' and press RETURN.

Expert Mode? (What question mode would you like? (easy/expert/all)?)
['easy']:
Version (Version number for project) ['1.0']:
Description (One-line description of the project) ['']:
Register Profile (Should this package register a GS Profile) [False]: True


Hopefully this helps you on the first steps. Get yourself a book:
Professional Plone 4 Development by Martin Aspeli, and you will be on a
more smooth path.

Personally, to modify accordion.js in such a case, I will begin with a
fresh Unified Installer, and do the following:
$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance/src
$ git clone git-9UaJU3cA/F/[email protected]:plomino/Plomino.git Products.CMFPlomino
$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ vi develop.cfg
[sources]
Products.CMFPlomino = fs Products.CMFPlomino

[buildout]
eggs +=
    Products.CMFPlomino

$ bin/buildout -c develop.cfg
$ bin/plonectl start

It should take less than one hour. Then, you can modify anyway you want in
src/Products.CMFPlomino. This is like Jean's option #1, but civilized
enough. If you are able to keep your customization in your own github
space, that's even better.

Good luck.
