I would like to launch those vimscript functions by external system

What do you mean by "external sytsem call."?
The only way to communicate with vim from the outsied is by using
client-srever or the netbeans api.
You can't call viml code from the outside (like using a dll) - all you
can do is "write input to a file", "call vim whih writes output to a
second file", "read result" like things, and little nicer by using the
client-server features. :h client-server :h netbeans
I'd consider rewriting your code in another language such as python
- depending on how much it is. You can run python from within vim, but
also outside of Vim
I think I'm going to disagree here -- perhaps vim's -c option will
help. See :help -c .
As an example, consider
vim -c "echo 'hello'" -c "sleep 3" -c q
which will run vim, show "hello" in the messages, wait 3 seconds, and
then quit. So, you presumably could
vim -c "call MyFunction()" -c q
and vim will run your function.
Now, I agree with Marc that I don't really know what you mean by running
vim via an "external system call". How do you intend to launch vim? If
by an icon, you presumably could set its "properties" so as to run vim
with the -c arguments as I showed. If you're using cygwin or the
dos-shell, again, you could run vim as shown (you may need to specify
the full path).
I also agree with Marc that you can't really interact with vim via an
external interface other than via the client-server or netbeans
mechanisms (well, mostly not; I've managed to put together something
that lets gdb talk to vim under linux/unix systems).
