Description
I developed a JS script to use with JOSM scripting plugin (https://github.com/Gubaer/josm-scripting-plugin) to automate some mouse movements&clicks.
Ultimately the script would invoke some other plugin (here, Todo), so that the list of todo items get filled.
However this does not work anymore since #14901 landed, since each plugin classloader is separated from each other (which is good).
My question/concern is about how one plugin can talk with another one dynamically now? Is it possible at all? One workaround would be to "communicate" via UI clicks simulation instead but maybe there's a solution here.

- Core could offer an API to allow this mechanism
- Plugin scripting should then use this API

Thanks Don-vip;
Not sure how much this is an issue though - for me it's not a big deal, so no need to do it if I'm the only one affected. I think before starting working on that we should see if others have the issue as well.

In fact the API already exists since r12867, see PluginClassLoader.addDependency(PluginClassLoader dependency).
It's up to scripting plugin to dynamically add dependencies to its own classloader when a script requires a new one.
