We have just released the open source project Slotted version 0.1, and we 
would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on the project.  Slotted 
can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/slotted/.

Here is a brief description:

Slotted

The Slotted framework is an extension of GWT Activities and Places (A&P), 
which adds the ability to nest Activities inside other Activities. Slotted 
has retained much of the A&P API, and has only changed where needed to 
support nesting. This allows for easy migration of existing A&P projects.

Just like Activities and Places, Slotted is a history management framework 
that allows you to create bookmarkable URLs within your application, thus 
allowing the browser's back button and bookmarks to work as users expect. 
It maybe used in conjunction with MVP development, but is not strictly 
speaking an MVP framework.

If you haven't seen GWT's Activities and Places, you can read GWT's 
documentation here: 
https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideMvpActivitiesAndPlaces
Why Nesting?

GWT's Activities are great, and provide a great flow for page 
initialization and page navigation. Now imagine a page with a TabPanel. 
Wouldn't it be great if each Tab was setup like an Activity? Wouldn't it be 
great to have delayed initialization and navigation checks?

This is why Slotted was created. Slotted allows you to organize your entire 
site into hierarchy of Activities. You no longer need to manage complex 
Views/Activities yourself. You can divide these complex pages into many 
Activities, and allow Slotted to manage the nesting structure and provide 
nice bookmarkable URLs for these complex views.
