I found a way to get my plugin dependencies from outside:

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    List<Artifact> pluginArtifacts =
pluginManager.getPluginDescriptorForPrefix("myPrefix").getArtifacts();

    Artifact plugin = null;
    for(Artifact artifact: pluginArtifacts){
      if(artifact.getArtifactId().equals("theArtifactImLookingFor")){
        plugin  = artifact;
        break;
      }
    }

Cheers,
Kai
