I'm building up a rather complex UI and would like to design, build, test portions of it as stand alone applications (esp so I can pass subsections to others to build). Initially I started building the apps by creating new Cocoa apps in Xcode3 and using IB to tweak up the MainMenu.xib with Controllers. That worked really nice - quick easy, shows the power of the tools. Now I want to take those boxes, tabs, etc from various standalone tools and put them into an integrated app.

I dont see a simple way to move stuff between MainMenus and a cryptic comment in the IB guide says its a good idea to have multiple NIBs. Digging around a bit I found Xcode Assistant has a New File option for Interface Builder->Cocoa>NIB>View XIB. I create one, copy over what was in MainMenu's Window (a Box holding a number of NSButtons and NSTextFields), and copy over the controller. All looks good. But now what?

How do I get that View/Controller to show up in the application window?
Do I have to programatically load the XIB and position the view within the app? Do I have to turn it into an IB library object, then drag from library to window?
