So I didn't get this from your original post, but it sounds like you  
are talking about an application which uses Protege 4 capabilities  
(probably widgets) but which does not start anything that looks like  
Protege.  Is your motivation to reuse some of the Protege 4 widgets in  
your application which will have its own (non-Protege) branding?  What  
are the requirements that you are trying to meet by using Protege 4?

If you are writing an application that uses Protege widgets but which  
has its own branding, then, as far as I know, this has not been done  
yet.  As was the case in Protege 3 based applications, it will  
probably be simplest to start with a tab plugin and then work your way  
to a Protege 4 based application

If this is what you are looking to do then we will probably need to  
make some minor tweaks such as a system flag that suppresses the  
Protege 4 welcome screen.  You will almost certainly have to work in  
the OSGi environment.  For a new application this is not a problem but  
if you are embedding your application inside an existing framework  
then you will probably want to look at [1].
