It's not much different from any other inter-object communication. A
common idiom is to expose an accessor method for obtaining an instance
of a plugin:

public class MyPlugin extends Plugin {

private static MyPlugin instance;
public MyPlugin (IPluginDescriptor descriptor) {
super(descriptor);
instance = this;
}
public static MyPlugin getPlugin() {
return instance;
}
}

Then you can obtain an instance, and communicate with the plug-in directly.
