You can populate the array entirely within IB. Make any target/ action connections in IB.

Since the last update on that page is from the Panther era, and since Leopard's IB3 completely broke backwards compatibility with IB2 plugins, I'd say the chances of the Foundation Collections Palette still working are approximately zero.

Way back in the NextStep days, I used an NSMatrix as a sort of poor man's array. I'd drag a text field or a form into the nib, stretch it out to as many elements as I wanted, and make outlet connections from the cells to the elements of my array. I'd type descriptions of the array elements into the text fields, kind of like comments. Once the nib was loaded, it only took a few lines of code to construct a real array and discard the NSMatrix. The same approach could be used to construct a dictionary.
