Inter-plugin communication [message #448556]

Hi,
I have two plugin projects. Both are standalone working. My first plugin
has one functioality (a search) which I want to use in my II plugin. Now,
I dont want to re-invent the wheel.
Is there a way I can send data from II plugin to I plugin and invoke some
of its method and a View class?

Any response is appreciated

I realized that extension point is the thing I am looking for. However, I
was not able to find any article or example on nitty-gritty of this.

It will be of great help, If you can point me to some article or example.
