Sort of.

What version of Java are you using?  This only works for JDK 1.2 and
above.
Do you have more than one class that has a main(String[] args) method?
It can only have one.
Is it depending on any classes not defined on your current classpath? 
You would have to add them on the -classpath option

java -classpath neededclasses.jar:$CLASSPATH -jar blah.jar
