Hi there!
    I've found OneClick <http://www.westcodesoft.com> to be invaluable in
scripting non-scriptable apps.
It might be worth a look.
    The other option is jython. I'm just starting to play with this; but
you could write a python script that calls the plugin directly (it has
full access to all java classes and methods), and could be double-clicked
from the desktop, or launched by any launching utility.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Cheers,

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Dameron
