I understand linking, but I wasn't clear on Bundle loading. After reading up on on it, an App is indeed a "Bundle" but not a "Loadable Bundle", so it can't be dynamically loaded which is what I was trying to do.
What I need from my App code is the NSDocument, as well as the associated xib and other object and resource dependencies.
I'm thinking the best option is to recompile the sources in my app project in my plugin project.
Is there a better way? I want to do the simplest thing that just works.
