How do I get that View/Controller to show up in the application

Do I have to programatically load the XIB and position the view

Do I have to turn it into an IB library object, then drag from

Use an NSViewController - or a subclass of it - to manage the view.
The NSViewController is File's Owner for the view nib/xib, and has a
"view" outlet to it. You can also use subclasses of NSViewController
to provide "supervisory" behavior for particular views.
Thus whenever you want a particular kind of view you can instantiate
its corresponding NSViewController. Then just add its view to
whatever other view you care about, such as the content view of a
window.
This is a really handy way to create and manage re-usable content for
Cocoa applications. There are some great articles here:

And of course there's also some great information in the
NSViewController documentation.
