## Detailed Description

Job for creating new agent instances.

This class encapsulates the procedure of creating a new agent instance and optionally configuring it immediately.

     MyClass.MyClass( QWidget *parent )
       : QWidget( parent )
     {
       // Get agent type object
       Akonadi.AgentType type = Akonadi.AgentManager.self()->type( "akonadi_vcard_resource" );

       Akonadi.AgentInstanceCreateJob *job = new Akonadi.AgentInstanceCreateJob( type );
       connect( job, SIGNAL( result( KJob * ) ),
                this, SLOT( slotCreated( KJob * ) ) );

       // use this widget as parent for the config dialog
       job->configure( this );

       job->start();
     }

     ...

     void MyClass.slotCreated( KJob *job )
     {
       Akonadi.AgentInstanceCreateJob *createJob = static_cast<Akonadi.AgentInstanceCreateJob*>( job );

       qDebug() << "Created agent instance:" << createJob->instance().identifier();
     }
