Is version 2 of library C backwards compatible with version 1? If so, then
just make sure version 2 of library C is the only version available on the
runtime classpath, and both Plugin A and Plugin B will use it.
If version 2 of library C is *not* backwards compatible with version 1,
then it becomes much more difficult. There are solutions like OSGi (which
play class loader games to load multiple versions of Java classes in
separate isolated spaces), but they are much more complicated, and ImageJ
is not currently capable of using them.

Curtis
