KAppTemplate
Version 1.0.6
Kurt Granroth <granroth@kde.org>
KAppTemplate is a set of modular shell scripts that will create a
framework for any number of KDE application types. At it's base
level, it handles creation of things like the automake/autoconf
framework, lsm files, RPM spec files, and po files. Then, there are
individual modules that allow you to create a skeleton KDE
application, a KPart application, a KPart plugin, or even convert
existing source code to the KDE framework.
KAppTemplate is continuously updated to ensure that the latest
"recommended" way of doing things is followed. This guarantees that
you will always be doing the "right thing" by using KAppTemplate.
Currently, there are four KAppTemplate modules:
- Full Featured: This creates a very full-featured
"normal" KDE application with a sample DCOP interface (using KIDL),
dynamically loaded KPart component, command line options, XML-GUI
menu, and lots more
- KPart Application: This creates a KDE application based
on the KPart component architecture. It includes both a Shell and a
(read-write) Part
- KPart Plugin: This creates a KPart plugin capable of
acting on the KHTML component
- Existing Source: This will copy over existing source
code into the standard KDE automake/autoconf framework
As KAppTemplate is a set of shell scripts, it doesn't have a GUI --
hence, no fancy screenshots. But.. here are two (quite old)
screenshots anyway.

The latest version of KAppTemplate should be found on this
site (see below).. but it is always guaranteed to be in
the kdesdk module in the KDE CVS. See
this page for
information on getting it using anonymous CVS.
For historical (and nostalgic) sake, I have kept the KAppTemplate
version for KDE 1.1 up on this site. It isn't recommended that you
actually use it, however, as it is no longer supported or updated.
