Terminal Command or Apple Script to run XCode?

Question

Is is possible to make XCode run by executing an AppleScript or some sort of terminal command?

Can you pass XCode startup arguments, like a project to open, or to build a project on startup?

Edit:

Please excuse my laziness, but Apple Script samples are appreciated.

It's fairly simple to run Xcode from the Terminal: open -a Xcode to simply open it, or open yourproject.xcodeproj to open your project in Xcode. As for getting it to build on startup, you'd probably have to turn to AppleScript for that:

tell application "Xcode"
    build
    launch
end tell
