Many of the new features in Lotus Notes V8 are the result of the move to the Eclipse/Lotus Expeditor environment. Lotus Notes V8 client encapsulates all the code that is Lotus Notes within the Eclipse environment. So, Lotus Notes V8 can be extended in the same way that Eclipse itself can be extended.
The flexibility of the Eclipse user interface has contributed to the Notes user interface. For example, the sidebar can display “always on” applications like the Activity Manager, a day-at-a-glance calendar, instant messaging, and the new RSS feed reader. Besides this, developers can build their own custom Eclipse plug-ins for the sidebar.
