Can I develop a standalone GEF application without use of the Eclipse platform?

The official answer is No, this is not supported. The main reason involves the use of an Eclipse-specific file titled plugin.properties which GEF uses for string externalizations. However, since GEF is an open source project, modifications to the GEF codebase could potentially allow a GEF editor external to Eclipse.
