The view that's used to display the inbox in ND8x is a java view. It's not a normal notes view. Until now you had to use various tricks to create a view that looked like a java view, and behaved like one. The problem is that you've got little control over the view.

On April 30th IBM has published a document on developerworks describing the STable class. The small print says "It is one of the core components of IBM® Lotus® Notes® 8 Java™ views ".
Which means: the inbox view you see is an javaView. When you use the activity sidebar plugin: What you see there is also a javaview.
Those javaviews are built using the sTable class.

it's not easy to create a view with this stuff, and the part for reading data from Notes is not included, so you have to code that yourself. But the sTable class is quite fascinating!
