Where:
- -p, this switch defined the port number of file server. This values must equals file loader port value in plugin settings. The default port value is 9875.
- fileToken, is a file entry string in format {file path}[:{line}[:{column}]]. You may post file tokens to stdin.

cat files.txt|java -classpath systemTools.jar org.intellij.systemTools.fileLoader.Main
This will open all files from files.txt. All files is lines like simple arguments.
