How to invoke an Eclipse plugin from command line?

if I have a plugin that validates code in Eclipse to a particular standard/spec, is it possible to invoke that plugin from the command line, passing source files as arguments?

Thanks

You can create new headless application and run it through the command line. Here is a simple "hello word" example.
