HotJava Views was a productivity software suite developed by Sun Microsystems and implemented in Java. It was released in 1996 and was intended primarily for JavaStation or other JavaOS-based network computers.

HotJava Views consisted of four applications:

HotJava Views

MailView IMAP4 e-mail client

CalendarView Group scheduling

WebView HotJava web browser

NameView Directory services

The graphical user interface of HotJava Views was quite novel in that it dispensed with some of the common features of GUIs in order to simplify the interface. Menu bars and overlapping, resizable windows were eliminated, and a simple Selector icon bar was used to switch between applications. Other third-party Java applications could be added to the Selector.
