Build eclipse plugin without IDE and without specifying a work space

I want to know if it is possible to build an eclipse plugin without using the IDE and without specifiying a eclipse workspace.

Currently I have the following setup

Build file for the plugin

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <project default="plugin_export" name="build">
        <target name="plugin_export">
            <pde.exportPlugins destination="\export\" exportSource="false" exportType="directory" plugins="com.my.plugin" useJARFormat="true"/>
        </target>
    </project>

Building plugin from console

java.exe -jar
 "C:\Program Files\Eclipse_3.7.2_WIN32\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar"
 -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner
 -f "D:\source\com.new.plugin\build.xml"
 -data "D:\elipse_workspace"

I basically want to build the plugin WITHOUT specifying the -data parameter. Instead I would like to specify directly where the source is located...

You must specify a workspace location. There is lots of information in the workspace metadata that is required during any build operation.
