Is there any way to run eclipse plug-in applications without fully start the eclipse platform

Since eclipse plugins are OSGi bundles you could start a simple hello-world plugin in an OSGi container like Equinox or Apache Felix

Here is an example on how to start the eclipse help system standalone. (This of course as more dependencies, than hello-world)
