/**
    An instance of this class is used to specify initialisation and shutdown
    code for the application.

    An application that wants to run in the JUCE framework needs to declare a
    subclass of JUCEApplication and implement its various pure virtual methods.

    It then needs to use the START_JUCE_APPLICATION macro somewhere in a cpp file
    to declare an instance of this class and generate a suitable platform-specific
    main() function.

    e.g. @code
        class MyJUCEApp  : public JUCEApplication
        {
        public:
            MyJUCEApp()
            {
            }

            ~MyJUCEApp()
            {
            }

            void initialise (const String& commandLine)
            {
                myMainWindow = new MyApplicationWindow();
                myMainWindow->setBounds (100, 100, 400, 500);
                myMainWindow->setVisible (true);
            }

            void shutdown()
            {
                myMainWindow = 0;
            }

            const String getApplicationName()
            {
                return "Super JUCE-o-matic";
            }

            const String getApplicationVersion()
            {
                return "1.0";
            }

        private:
            ScopedPointer <MyApplicationWindow> myMainWindow;
        };

        their changes before quitting, and give them the chance to cancel.

        If you want to send a quit signal to your app, this is the correct method
        to call, because it means that requests that come from the system get handled
        in the same way as those from your own application code. So e.g. you'd
        call this method from a "quit" item on a menu bar.

        when this message arrives, the message loop will stop, the shutdown() method
        will be called, and the app will exit.
