title: Plugin Class Loaders
---
To load the classes of each plugin, IntelliJ IDEA uses a separate class loader.
This allows each plugin to use a different version of a library, even if the same library is used by IntelliJ IDEA itself or by another plugin.
A separate class loader is used to load the classes of each plugin.

By default, the main IntelliJ IDEA class loader loads classes that were not found in the plugin class loader.
However, in the plugin.xml file, you may use the `<depends>` element to specify that a plugin depends on one or more other plugins.
By default, the main IDE class loader loads classes that were not found in the plugin class loader.
However, in the `plugin.xml` file, you may use the `<depends>` element to specify that a plugin depends on one or more other plugins.
In this case the class loaders of those plugins will be used for classes not found in the current plugin.
This allows a plugin to reference classes from other plugins.
