Not really, because you need the Equinox runtime container. you could run a plugin using the eclipse exeecutable, and as an application, see:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_create_an_application%3F
You’re effectively creating an an
org.eclipse.core.runtime.applicationsextension point.You could also publish a plugin as part of an Eclipse application and then export it as an executable so that it can be run aside from Eclipse. This still bundles the Equinox runtime and plugin together though.
