This is a bit of a difficult one at the moment. It seems MVP is the flavour of the month (or year, as it were) but there are so many options available and very few actual tutorials.

I went through the Contacts example and kinda got it: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/articles/mvp-architecture.html

Then I realised they had added Activities and Places in 2.1, so I looked at that example: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideMvpActivitiesAndPlaces.html

There are also numerous frameworks out there but most people seem to want to use "the google way" if possible. I'm going to give http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/ a go because it looks like it has some great docs, and that'[s what google is lacking at the moment.
