Re: Model-View-Presenter (MVP) question

Hi Kaspar,

Microsoft has a library with an MVC implementation :

IBM has an alternative for Swing : http://www.eclipse.org/swt/
The Microsoft, Sun and IBM links might be usefull to see 'real'
examples of MVC and not so MVC ;-).
As far as I know, the Swing architecture 'solves' some issues with
MVC (from the Sun link ):

================================================================
Early on, MVC was a logical choice for Swing because it provided a
basis for meeting the first three of our design goals within the bounds
of the latter two.

The first Swing prototype followed a traditional MVC separation in
which each component had a separate model object and delegated its
look-and-feel implementation to separate view and controller objects.

The delegate
We quickly discovered that this split didn't work well in practical
terms because the view and controller parts of a component required a
tight coupling (for example, it was very difficult to write a generic
controller that didn't know specifics about the view). So we collapsed
these two entities into a single UI (user-interface) object, ...
