Plug-in method call in Eclipse

I've created two plug-ins.

Extension point (Plugin 1):

edu.xyz.harsha.tetris

Extension (Plugin 2):

edu.xyz.harsha.tetrisext

plugin1 has Tetris class which calls Clock class. I defined Clock class in plugin2. Now I want to use Clock class in plugin1. How can I use methods of Clock class from plugin2 in Tetris class of plugin1?

Thanks in advance.

In the MANIFEST.MF editor for plugin2 add the package which contains your Clock class to the 'Exported Packages' section of the 'Runtime' tab. This will add a 'Export-Package' entry to the MANIFEST.MF.

In the MANIFEST.MF editor for plugin1 add plugin2 to the 'Required Plug-ins' section of the 'Dependencies' tab. This will add a 'Require-Bundle' entry to the MANIFEST.MF

You should now be able to import 'Clock' in the normal way in your Java code.
