Is it possible to run a plugin from command line (I know there are CliRefresher and CommandLineGenerator)?

No, that's not possible. Well.. it is possible of course, through calling the instance of the plugin but there's no method to do that easily from the commandline tools, as the plugin-runner start code is in the mdimain window (the glue code to glue all steps together)

Would it be possible (in future) to pass arguments to plugin directly (perhaps via an xml file or something). So I could run plugins from FinalBuilder. Perhaps by adding another interface to plugins, i.e. ICommandLine.
