Actually, the absolute minimum set is (on any platform):
org.apache.xerces
org.eclipse.core.boot
org.eclipse.core.runtime
You also need startup.jar, which is not a plugin, but is found in the
repository in the org.eclipse.platform project.
Then, simply create a plugin that defines an application (using the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point):
<extension
id="yourApplication"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run
class="com.xyz.YourApplicationClass">
</run>
</application>
</extension>
Your application will implement IPlatformRunnable, and its run() method
will be the entry point for your application. Then, launch eclipse and
specify the application to run as follows:
eclipse -application com.xyz.yourplugin.yourApplication
That's it!

John,
Thanks for your help, but this still is not quite working for me.
I have tried running org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner, which supposedly
also implements IPlatformRunnable. Unfortunatly when I do:
../eclipse -application org.eclipse.ant.core.AntRunner
I get:
!SESSION
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 May 30, 2003 15:34:33.795

I get the same error when running my sample application.
Any ideas?

I don't know about your application entry point but for AntRunner you will
need to use:
../eclipse -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner
The application entry point is the id you supply in the XML extension
definition (fully qualified with the plugin id) NOT the name of the class.

I guess this was just because you used the incorrect case... should be
"antRunner", instead of "AntRunner".
