Hi,
If you want to use some other IDE than Eclipse you need to publish your app to a webserver for testing. You can then create a bookmark to start you app by clicking the 'Add bookmarks now' link under the address bar in the home screen of the emulator. After entering the name and URL of your app a tile will be added to the home screen that will star your app when clicked.
Notice that if you use a local webserver for testing, the localhost will point to the virtual machine of the emulator and not your local webserver.
Regards,
