Sorry I didn't want to frighten you with the words "MVC" and "Clojure"
in the same sentence :-).
However, I think it's just the right approach to separate the
presentation from the logic. I may be wrong and then would be
interested to hear of different designs which preserve this
separation.

Not a protocol for each piece of data but a protocol for all data.
Like:

(defprotocol View
  (display-banana [this banana])
  (display-melon [this melon]))

etc. Is it worse than having the equivalent functions? It allows me to
switch the particular implementation without changing the listeners'
code.

No. It's never too late ;)

Ok then just see the application like a specialized editor: you can
create and open documents, make modifications to them, get help from
the application to build and parts to your document. Documents are
represented and edited graphically with Swing.

What design would you suggest?
