\section creatingapp Creating an application using generic shell
TDevelop platform applications can use generic shell as a ready to use implementation
of TDevelop plugin architecture.

This is done by creating application %main.cpp file and @ref ShellExtension subclass.
Example:
- %main.cpp for "myapp" application:
    @code
    #include <config.h>
    
    #include <tdeaboutdata.h>
    #include <tdeapplication.h>
    #include <tdecmdlineargs.h>
    #include <tdelocale.h>
    #include <dcopclient.h>
    
    #include <splashscreen.h>
    #include <toplevel.h>
    #include <plugincontroller.h>
    #include <partcontroller.h>
    #include <core.h>
    #include <projectmanager.h>
    #include <newmainwindow.h>
    
    #include "myappextension.h"
    
    static TDECmdLineOptions options[] =
    {
        { "profile <profile>",	I18N_NOOP("Profile to load"), 0 },
        { 0,0,0 }
    };
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        static const char description[] = I18N_NOOP("My Application");
        TDEAboutData aboutData("myapp", I18N_NOOP("My Application"),
                        VERSION, description, TDEAboutData::License_GPL,
                        I18N_NOOP("(c) 1999-2004, MyApp developers"),
                        "", "http://www.myapp.org");
        aboutData.addAuthor("Me", I18N_NOOP("Creator"), "me@myapp.org");
    
        TDECmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, &aboutData);
        TDECmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options );
    
        TDEApplication app;

        MyAppExtension::init();
    
        QPixmap pm;
        pm.load(locate("data", "myapp/pics/myapp-splash.png"));
        SplashScreen * splash = new SplashScreen( pm );
        splash->show();

            splash, SLOT(showMessage(const TQString &)));
    
        splash->message( i18n( "Loading Settings" ) );
        TopLevel::getInstance()->loadSettings();
    
        PluginController::getInstance()->loadInitialPlugins();
    
        splash->message( i18n( "Starting GUI" ) );
        NewMainWindow *mw = dynamic_cast<NewMainWindow*>(TopLevel::getInstance()->main());
        if (mw)
            mw->enableShow();
        TopLevel::getInstance()->main()->show();
    
        Core::getInstance()->doEmitCoreInitialized();
    
        delete splash;
    
        kapp->dcopClient()->registerAs("myapp");
    
        return app.exec();
    }
