how can I make UI running in a separate process appear to be in my process?

The Apple Help Viewer is an example of what I want: its a separate process but doesn't have a menu bar, doesn't appear in the dock, and floats on top. So it appears to be running in the current process. How can I achieve this with Cocoa?

A little googling with the right keywords and I arrive at the solution:

Add the following to the Info.plist file:

<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
