Yes.  The ONLY occasion Eclipse is needed at run-time is when running SWT
apps.  The rest of the time, Eclipse can be thought of as super-SEU +
debugging tools.

Regarding thick client: We're speaking past each other.  I believe you are
thinking of an interactive application and I am thinking of a batch
application.  There is no need for any UI at all for a batch application.
