Calling a ViewPart(SWT) from void main - eclipse-plugin

Question

I am new to eclipse plugin and SWT. I am designing a view part with some functionalities.
But the only problem is that I have to Launch it as a eclipse plugin to check.
Is there any way that we can call this from that main(String[] args) method?
I am posting my sample viewpart code
public class View extends ViewPart {
public static Display display=new Display();
public static final String ID = "Test.View"; //$NON-NLS-1$
private final FormToolkit toolkit = new FormToolkit(Display.getCurrent());
public View() {
}
/**
* Create contents of the view part.
* #param parent
*/
#Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
Composite container = toolkit.createComposite(parent, SWT.NONE);
toolkit.paintBordersFor(container);
{
Label lblNewLabel = new Label(container, SWT.NONE);
lblNewLabel.setBounds(25, 46, 49, 13);
toolkit.adapt(lblNewLabel, true, true);
lblNewLabel.setText("New Label");
}
Spinner spinner = new Spinner(container, SWT.BORDER);
spinner.setBounds(88, 105, 47, 21);
toolkit.adapt(spinner);
toolkit.paintBordersFor(spinner);
DragSource dragSource = new DragSource(container, DND.DROP_MOVE);
DropTarget dropTarget = new DropTarget(container, DND.DROP_MOVE);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(container, SWT.NONE);
canvas.setBounds(94, 161, 174, 148);
toolkit.adapt(canvas);
toolkit.paintBordersFor(canvas);
createActions();
initializeToolBar();
initializeMenu();
}
public void dispose() {
toolkit.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
/**
* Create the actions.
*/
private void createActions() {
// Create the actions
}
/**
* Initialize the toolbar.
*/
private void initializeToolBar() {
IToolBarManager tbm = getViewSite().getActionBars().getToolBarManager();
}
/**
* Initialize the menu.
*/
private void initializeMenu() {
IMenuManager manager = getViewSite().getActionBars().getMenuManager();
}
#Override
public void setFocus() {
// Set the focus
}
Can I write something like
public static void main(String[] args){
View v=new View();
Shell shell=new Shell(display);
v.createPartControl(shell);
}

Not really, Eclipse views are part of RCP and depend on a its infrastructure. You can create a small RCP application which only shows your view instead.
Having public static Display display=new Display(); in your view is completely wrong! There is certainly a Display already by the time your code runs, which can be accessed by Display.getDefault() (on any thread) or Display.getCurrent() (on GUI thread).
