After some more consideration I have dropped my way of doing it.
In theory it would be possible by sharing an EventBus between the
different windows. By using JSNI I could do window.eventbus =
th...@gwt.foo.eventBus and then do window.open(someotherwindow). In
this other window I could do
You might take a look at the gwt-dnd framework, specifically the
'Example 7' windowing sample...

That's one way to have the behavior of multiple windows/views within a
single GWT app/browser window.
I am working on a project where I am using GWT to visualize biological
data in several ways. This is done by searching for a gene by name,
and what I want to happen is for each visualization to get its own
window to display its data. The reason for this is that there is huge
amounts of data, and
Have you considered using GWT tabs or some other ui feature (roll your own
if you have to) that would provide multiple views other than opening
multiple browser windows or tabs? I really don't like it when applications
open multiple browser windows or tabs and consider that a UI faux pas :).

As far as I can see this would force me to re-render each view on
change and also make it harder for a user to compare the different
views. Further if the user has multiple screens, I think using several
Windows is better than using only one. Your idea is good, however its
not what I want to do if
The first problem you face is that each browser window represents a
separate GWT application. The second one you face is that, to the
best of my knowledge, there are only two ways those applications can
communicate with each other: via the server, and via cookies. A third
problem you face is
If I were dealing with as dense an amount of data as you seem to be dealing
with I'd look to use 1 physical window with possibly multiple view ports to
present it all. Just MHO and YMMV.
