Creating a listener gives you the ability to automate actions.  Let's say you wanted to kickoff another piece of code whenever a user created a new revision.  You could either write something that queries for new revisions every so often (boring) or make a listener to runs that code on the fly.  Let's create our first listener!

This guide will walk you through getting Eclipse IDE setup with Windchill.  This allows you to easily make customizations to Windchill in a streamlined fashion.

​Windchill may be installed but there are still some recommended things you need to do before you carry on with your business configurations.  Let's take a look.

Windchill is now installed but you are seeing all of these Java apps running on your taskbar.  We need to install Windchill, Apache, and Solr services in order to clear these up.
