+/**
+Application frontend interface.
+This interface is responsible for handling the running of an application in KDevelop.
+Currently, this interface defines ways to do the following:
+- check if the application is running;
+- execute the application;
+- stop the currently running application;
+- control the output view as seen in the 'Application' tool dock.
+
+Instances that implement this interface are available through extension architecture:
+@code
+KDevAppFrontend *apf = extension<KDevAppFrontend>("KDevelop/AppFrontend");
+if (apf) {
+ // do something
+} else {
+ // fail
+}
+@endcode
+@sa KDevPlugin::extension method documentation.
