Hi,
you could implement a static method in plugin1 which returns a reference
to itself. Something like:
public class Plugin1 implements PlugIn {
//Reference to Plugin1
private static Plugin1 thisIsPlugin1;
//Reference to some value in plugin1
private int someValueInPlugin1 = 1;
//Constructor creating a reference to itself
public Plugin1() {
thisIsPlugin1 = this;
}
//Returns a reference to plugin1
public static Plugin1 getInstance() {
return thisIsPlugin1;
}
//Returns some value from plugin1
public int getSomeValueFromPlugin1() {
return someValueInPlugin1;
}
//Startup of plugin1
public void run(String arg) {
//Create some object
new Plugin1();
}
}
In plugin2, you can then use:
...
Plugin1 p1 = Plugin1.getInstance();
if (p1 != null) {
int someValueInPlugin1 = p1.getSomeValueFromPlugin1();
}
If you cannot make use of this (perhaps because you cannot change the
code of plugin1), other ways involving ImageJ's WindowManager class
might be possible.
Best,
Thomas
