I am new to PTC and Windchill and do have one question that I cannot seem to find an answer for, perhaps one of you can tell me. We were informed by a local support person that PTC Windchill will be going away from the Java programming language in a coming release, is that true and if so what will be the new programming language of PTC Windchill? Thanks

Windchill is staying a Java-based application, but PTC has announced they are beginning to re-design certain parts of the application that were Java applets to HTML5 applets. This might be what the local support person was talking about.

Dennis,

at this link there are a lot of presentations from PTC Live 2014.

One of them explain the migration from applet Java to HTML5 applets.
