I've got a "global controller" class (called AppController) that deals with
the various controllers inside my project. Among those
controllers, there is a NSDocument subclass (called
BlueDocument).

I'm not entirely sure I follow you. Is AppController a subclass of NSDocumentController? If not, it shouldn't be dealing with NSDocument subclasses.


AppController has a method
showBlueWindow like this :

 -(void) showBlueWindow {

      if (!blueWindow) {
              BlueWindow* blueWindow=[[BlueWindow alloc] init];
       }
      [blueWindow showWindows];
}

Is BlueWindow a subclass of NSDocument? If so, that is *not* how you create a new NSDocument.


  and since I've implemented -makeControllerWindows for this
class BlueWindows (like this, following Sherm's guidelines)

 - (void) makeWindowControllers
{
    NSWindowController *c = [[[NSWindowController alloc]
initWithWindowNibName: @"BlueWindow" owner:self] autorelease];
    [self addWindowController: c];
}

I expected the BlueWindow.nib file to be loaded automatically when the
blueWindow object is first created.

If BlueWindow is an NSDocument subclass, you're creating and managing it the wrong way - you should be using NSDocumentController to do that.


Or, if BlueWindow is *not* an NSDocument subclass, then adding a - makeWindowControllers method to it won't accomplish anything useful.
