Running buckminster headless from an Eclipse installation

I got Buckminster installed and it works perfectly within my Eclipse IDE. Now, I'd like to run the headless version of it, but I'm wondering if I have to install the headless version of Buckminster, or if I can launch it from my current, existing, eclipse installation.

Can I specify an eclipse Application or Product after eclipse.exe to trigger Buckminster headless?

I recently wrote new tutorials on Buckminster both for building RCP applications and Xtext projects: http://www.lorenzobettini.it/tag/buckminster/

the examples you find in those blog posts also show some ant files to run Buckminster headlessly.

Buckminster Headless is not an embedded application inside the IDE distribution. It can in fact not be installed in an IDE as it overrides and works around issues with dependencies to the ui bundles.
