Well, have you had him checked out by a doctor? Maybe he's in some sort of pain. Something you can't see. Maybe he has an earache. Get him checked out if you haven't.
If you know 100% for sure that he's completely healthy and not in any kind of pain, then he's most likely doing it for attention. If you run to him or baby him everytime he starts crying, he probably knows it's a way to get your attention. If you know for sure that nothing is bothering him, you're just going to have to start ignoring him a little. It may be hard to do, but you have to get him to realize you're not going to be there every time he just decides to cry for no reason other than to get your attention if this is the case

Two things come to mind. First, he is likely learning how to manipulate you, asall 2 1/2 -3 year olds attempt to do. He could be just testing you to see how much you are going to give in. Reeommendation: dont give in, just stand firm and tell him "when you are finished crying we can talk about what is bothering you" then walk away and wait for him to come to you.
The other thing that comes to mind is that he may be having some sensory issues. It could be a tag itching or a noise that bothers him. Try keeping an eye on what is going on when he cries to see if there is any pattern. Good luck!

See a doctor first. My first was clingy and a crier but is now my most independent. I have four and they are all different. She was most happy in my arms.... and I did that. I held her a lot because that was what she needed. My second was happy to sit and play and watch, now she is more clingy and needs me more...Give them what they need and NO he is not spoiled if people have been trying to tell you that, Maybe he is going to be an artist or a poet, a person who feels life deeply and wouldn't that be wonderful.... Give your baby what he needs from you and he'll grow to be what he was intended to be....

the most important thing to remember about little kids is you make them independent later by meeting their needs, by treating them as the babies and tiny kiddos they are.
If he just starts crying for no reason, all the time, does he stop when you hold him or talk to him or does he continue to cry? If he continues to cry, maybe he's sick.
If he's emotional, hold him, talk to him, say "you are feeling sad" or - are you looking closely enough "you are feeling frustrated." teach him the words to express his feelings, stay close and understand what's happening so you can teach him.
he's not a cry baby, he's a baby. i hope you won't let him be aware of you having such a demeaning and rejecting attitude towards him.
if you take the tack of teaching him to just not cry, to not express himself around you in a healthy way but just not at all, then you will be creating a child who hides his true self and stuffs down his feelings. how sad.

you might try making things a little calmer for him. my son cried all the time. i couldnt go anywhere because he would break out into a fit of tears and everyone would look at me like i pinched him. the doctor said he was just a little too sensitive to outside stimuli and he didnt know how to adjust.He finally out grew it, but i just had to take things slow, and not introduce him to lots of things at one time.maybe make a place in your home, where he can go to feel secure and where its quiet when he gets upset. when he learns to feel more secure about his surroundings im sure he will cry alot less

If you think he's doing it for attention, I would ignore it - so that you don't reinforce that kind of behavior. Try to give him lots of attention when he's not crying.
But to me it seems like he maybe has some type of health problem, if he just cries for no reason. You may want to talk to your pediatrician about that.

If he doesn't have a reson to be crying then he should go to his room or in timeout it seems like it is probably a stage but it is not something you should have to put up with.

maybe hes just an emotional kid.. or if something traumatizing has happened to him maybe he keeps that in his mind and you need to help him resolve that.
