[patch] making it easier to run stuff from an IDE

[Noel Grandin]

Hi

I've been using the following patch to DeskopApplicationContext for my
code quite a bit.

It makes it easier to make my pivot code runnable from inside an IDE -
now I can just point Eclipse to one of my classes and got "Run As Java
Application"

Regards, Noel.
