Can I use SQL Plus to build invalid objects?

Question

Dear all:
As I know, some 3-part developer tools, like PL/SQL Developer, can easily build invalid objects. But if only Oracle db & Oralce client install, can I use native tools to do it? How to do it? Thanks for any help.
Regards,
George

save script below in a file and run from sqlprompt.
set define off

set newpage none
set pagesize 0
spool compile_invalid.sql
SELECT
'alter '||decode(trim(object_type),'PACKAGE BODY','PACKAGE',object_type)||' '||object_name ||' '
||decode(object_type,'PACKAGE BODY','COMPILE BODY','COMPILE')||';'
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_type IN
