Run a Form without Browser

Question

Hi,
can i run a form without a webbrowser? (what i want is, to run the form as an windows application)
maybe i can convert my forms-application into a java-class and run it with javaw.exe?

I am sure it is not supported by Oracle, but you can use Java WebStart 1.2 with Forms (web.showdocument will not work).
