I have a plugin that installed within eclipse.

Is there a way to do the following in my case :

passing a "version" argument to eclipse when calling it to just print the plugin version in standard output without launching eclipse

./eclipse -version

You could write your own headless RCP app. Then you can parse extra eclipse command-line arguments.

Create a new plugin and choose the Headless RCP hello world app.
