maybe i don't understand, why do you need to do this? usualy you use the interface mechanism for this. i.e: create an interface that this class should implement and make sure your internal java files know about this interface. and u'd never have to worry about it. if you both use/implement the same interface then it has to comply, else it wouldn't comply. just make sure you put the interface in a seperate java file and that you both use it.
