Open File in eclipse programmatically

Question

I need to open up a file in eclipse from another program for example just from a bash in Linux or the Command prompt in Windows.

Something like eclipse.exe myfile.js

which works, but I don't want it to start another eclipse instance for each file but open the file in the current eclipse instance if one exists.

Is there any chance of opening a file in that way?
