I guess I had never heard of MVP, and just assumed the OP was recreating 
MVC without clearly understanding the concept. This apparently was 
hubris on my part, and I humbly apologize for that.

I'm going to do a web search to learn more about MVP architecture later 
today, but I want to know what it means to people in this group as well, 
X-Posting to clj.gui, since it seems relevant.

So, fellow Java engineers and Pragmatic Programmers, how would you 
compare and contrast MVC vs MVP? Are there design/clarity benefits to 
one over the other? That does "Presenter" mean to you?

Thanks,
Daniel.
