Hi Christian,
is there a way to find out, whether an other instance of ImageJ has loaded a

I'm not sure I understand your question. If the plugin has an underscore in
the name, it should appear in the Plugins menu. What do you mean by "an
other instance"?
I've been working on some code lately to help diagnose whether various
libraries are available within the ImageJ environment. I grabbed some of my
code and turned it into a standalone plugin (below) that you can use to
verify from where (if anywhere) ImageJ is loading a particular Java class.
It requirs that you know the fully qualified class name of the plugin you
want to check, though. Also note that ImageJ's class loader does not
properly identify Java class versions, so my plugin always lists the version
as "null" at the moment.
