Thanks for your thoughts, Nicolas. I believe the reason we've not created View and Presenter interfaces to date is because there are two different styles of MVP widely in use, only one of which allows the view to call the presenter as in your example. Which leaves us in the funny position that the new MVP framework is missing *formal* definitions of View and Presenter. Personally, I think it's a good thing that GWT Activities and Places are independent of views and presenters so as not to force you into one model. I think View and Presenter as you've described would fall in the category of things that are not quite core code, but are nevertheless useful abstractions that probably need a home in the GWT source somewhere for reference. We'll chew on this a bit for 2.1.1...
