My Cocoa app needs some small dynamically generated windows. How can I programmatically create Cocoa windows at runtime?

This is my non-working attempt so far. I see

A side note, if you want to programatically instantiate the application without a main nib, in the main.m file / you can instantiate the AppDelegate as below. Then in your apps Supporting Files / YourApp.plist Main nib base file / MainWindow.xib delete this entry. Then use Jason Coco's approach to attach the window in your AppDelegates init method.

#import "AppDelegate.h":

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

  NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
  [NSApplication sharedApplication];

  AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[AppDelegate alloc] init];
  [NSApp setDelegate:appDelegate];
  [NSApp run];
  [pool release];
  return 0;
}
