Lets give a short and quick overview of Rich client customization.
For better understanding , please read this page once you done with client customization guide PDF.
The client is the user interface (UI) layer and is built and customized using the Java language (rich client) or JavaScript (thin client) and other methods. The server layer can be customized using the Integration Toolkit (ITK) and the C++ programming language.
The rich client is based on Eclipse, your customizations have access to all Eclipse extension points and OSGi services. They can also use Teamcenter-developed customization techniques. To customize the rich client, you can use:
· Base Eclipse extension points and services (for example, the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point).
· Teamcenter extension points and services (for example, the application extension points).
· Teamcenter customization mechanisms (for example, style sheets).
Within the Teamcenter rich client user interface, application functionality is provided in perspectives and views. Some applications use perspectives and views to arrange how functionality is presented.
You can control the behavior and display of Teamcenter applications in both the rich client and the thin client using options and preferences.

}A page layout defines the initial layout for a perspective within a page in a workbench window.
This interface (IPageLayout interface) is not intended to be implemented by clients.
When a perspective is opened, it creates a new page layout with a single editor area. This layout is then passed to the perspective factory createInitialLayout(IPageLayout) where additional views and other content can be added, using the existing editor area as the initial point of reference.

Core expressions are used declaratively in the plugin.xml files, and

Declarative Expression Examples
Basic IStructuredSelection
Most of the tree or table like viewers return an IStructuredSelection.
For example, the Project Explorer and Package Explorer.
When using the default variable you must treat it as an java.util.Collection. That means using
<count> or <iterate>
Ex. The expression below returns true
if all of the selected items are Person.
<enabledWhen>
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<instanceof value="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.model.Person"/>
</iterate>
</enabledWhen>This is equivalent to:
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="selection">
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<instanceof value="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.model.Person"/>
</iterate>
</with>
</enabledWhen>The behaviour of iterate is:
iterate ands the results of evaluating its child
expressions for each element in the collection, unless you set the operator attribute.
Default
operator is and.
iterate with an operator of and returns
true if the collection is empty, unless you set the ifEmpty attribute.
Ex. If you want to be enabled if only one Person is selected, you can include a count element.
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="selection">
<count value="1"/>
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<instanceof value="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.model.Person"/>
</iterate>
</with>
</enabledWhen>The same expression using the default variable:
<enabledWhen>
<and>
<count value="1"/>
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<instanceof value="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.model.Person"/>
</iterate>
</and>
</enabledWhen>Resources and the Package or Project Explorer
The Package Explorer is a mixture of org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource, org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaElement and
other classes.
Ex. If you are trying to find all of the "*.java"
files, you would need to:
Iterate through the default variable.
Adapt the selection elements to your class, in this
case org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource.
Use one of the org.eclipse.core.resources property
testers to test the org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource property.
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="selection">
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name"
value="*.java"/>
</adapt>
</iterate>
</with>
</enabledWhen>When working with the current selection and property testers it does not
always make sense to use adapt.
In these situations it is a good practice to check that the object under test
is a valid type for that property tester:
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="selection">
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<instanceof type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource"/>
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name"
value="*.java"/>
</iterate>
</with>
</enabledWhen>Active Contexts
If your handler should be enabled when your view or editor activates a context,
you can use the activeContexts
variable. Contexts are defined in the org.eclipse.ui.contexts
extension point and activated programmatically using the org.eclipse.ui.contexts.IContextService.
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="activeContexts">
<iterate ifEmpty="false" operator="or">
<equals value="org.example.view.context"/>
</iterate>
</with>
</enabledWhen>Note: activeContexts is a collection of the active context IDs as strings.Active Views and Editor
For handlers that are to be contributed to a specific view or editor, you
can use activeEditorId and activePartId in the activeWhen clause.
This is an example for a handler that should be active in text editors:
<activeWhen>
<with variable="activeEditorId">
<equals value="org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor"/>
</with>
</activeWhen>The following clause is for a handler that's active while in the Project
Explorer:
<activeWhen>
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer"/>
</with>
</activeWhen>ActionSets and Contexts

myMenuitem.label=Mi Hola mundo
myTooltip.tip=Mi para Decir hola mundo
myCommand.name=Mi Orden
Edit the plugin.xml file
replacing hard coded values with %keyname for the name/value pairs you typed in the plugin.properties file. For example:

}This creates the Messages.java and messages.propertiesContent of messages.properties :
SampleHandler_0=TestProject
SampleHandler_1=Hello, Eclipse worldb.
Now Again Select Handler and then Source→Externalize Strings
Customize
the rich client properties files:
· Open WinZip, navigate to the TC_ROOT\portal\plugins
directory, and open the JAR file that contains the properties file you want to
override. The file name has the form property.properties. For example, to override the mpp.properties file, open the com.teamcenter.rac.cme.legacy.jar
file.
· Extract the properties file you want to
override from the JAR file. For example, extract the mpp.properties
file.
· In a text editor, open the properties file to
determine the syntax of the property you want to modify.
· Create a new property_user.properties in a text editor. For example, if you
open the mpp.properties file, create the mpp_user.properties file.
Update the project tabs.
open plugin.xml
Select the com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties extension point.
Click the plugin.xml tab. Type text in the file so it
looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.6"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties">
</extension>
</plugin>Create a package.
a. In the Package Explorer view, right-click your project and choose New→Package.
b. In the Name box, type the path name where the properties file was
originally. For example, if you originally extracted the mpp.properties file, the package name should be com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp.
c. Click the MANIFEST.MF tab and type your new package at the end of the Export-Package line. For example, if your project name
is com.mycom.propertiesfile and the new package is called com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp, the line
should read:
d. Export-Package: com.mycom.propertiesfile, com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp
Developing forms using JavaBeans
You can create a custom Java panel
(JPanel) assigned to a custom business object
and display the properties using JavaBeans.
when a user selects a custom ItemRevision business object and chooses the Viewer view or View→Properties,
the custom panel is displayed.
Panel rendering is registered to the business object by placing the following command
into a custom stylesheet_user.properties file:
Syntax: custom-business-object-name.JAVARENDERING=package-name.custom-java-panel-name
A)
1. Create a custom item business object.
2. In the Business Objects view, open the item revision business object (for example, A4_MyItemRevision), click the Properties tab,
and create the custom persistent properties you want to display in the panel,
3. Set the Enabled property constant to True for each of the new properties
4. Deploy the custom template
B)
1. Create the Eclipse project.
2. Update the Dependencies tab.
3. Update the Extensions tab.
Click the Add button.
Select the com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties extension point
4. choose New→Package.
5. In the Name box, type com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet
6. Right-click the com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet package and choose New→File. In
the File Name box, type CustomSamplePanel.java and click Finish
7. Open the project’s Runtime tab, click the Add button, and add the com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet

example:
-os ${target.os} -ws ${target.ws} -arch ${target.arch} -nl esWe have modified a label command name to display in Spanish but how the message displayed in handler be modified to display in Spanish or other locale.
Localize the message.
a.
In Eclipse, choose Handler in which we have message and
then Source→Externalize Strings.
Sample Handler
public class SampleHandler extends AbstractHandler {
/**
* The constructor.
*/
public SampleHandler() {
}
/**
* the command has been executed, so extract
extract the needed information
* from the application context.
*/
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
IWorkbenchWindow window = HandlerUtil.getActiveWorkbenchWindowChecked(event);
MessageDialog.openInformation(window.getShell(),"TestProject","Hello,Eclipse world");
return null;
}
}This creates the Messages.java and messages.properties
Content of messages.properties :
SampleHandler_0=TestProject
SampleHandler_1=Hello, Eclipse world
b. Now Again Select
Handler and then Source→Externalize Strings
Customize
the rich client properties files:
· Open WinZip, navigate to the TC_ROOT\portal\plugins
directory, and open the JAR file that contains the properties file you want to
override. The file name has the form property.properties. For example, to override the mpp.properties file, open the com.teamcenter.rac.cme.legacy.jar
file.
· Extract the properties file you want to
override from the JAR file. For example, extract the mpp.properties
file.
· In a text editor, open the properties file to
determine the syntax of the property you want to modify.
· Create a new property_user.properties in a text editor. For example, if you
open the mpp.properties file, create the mpp_user.properties file.
Update the project tabs.
open plugin.xml
Select the com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties extension point.
Click the plugin.xml tab. Type text in the file so it
looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.6"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties">
</extension>
</plugin>
Create a package.
a. In the Package Explorer view, right-click your project and choose New→Package.
b. In the Name box, type the path name where the properties file was
originally. For example, if you originally extracted the mpp.properties file, the package name should be com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp.
c. Click the MANIFEST.MF tab and type your new package at the end of the Export-Package line. For example, if your project name
is com.mycom.propertiesfile and the new package is called com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp, the line
should read:
d. Export-Package: com.mycom.propertiesfile, com.teamcenter.rac.cme.mpp
Developing forms using JavaBeans
You can create a custom Java panel
(JPanel) assigned to a custom business object
and display the properties using JavaBeans.
when a user selects a custom ItemRevision business object and chooses the Viewer view or View→Properties,
the custom panel is displayed.
Panel rendering is registered to the business object by placing the following command
into a custom stylesheet_user.properties file:
Syntax: custom-business-object-name.JAVARENDERING=package-name.custom-java-panel-name
A)
1. Create a custom item business object.
2. In the Business Objects view, open the item revision business object (for example, A4_MyItemRevision), click the Properties tab,
and create the custom persistent properties you want to display in the panel,
3. Set the Enabled property constant to True for each of the new properties
4. Deploy the custom template
B)
1. Create the Eclipse project.
2. Update the Dependencies tab.
3. Update the Extensions tab.
Click the Add button.
Select the com.teamcenter.rac.util.tc_properties extension point
4. choose New→Package.
5. In the Name box, type com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet
6. Right-click the com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet package and choose New→File. In
the File Name box, type CustomSamplePanel.java and click Finish
7. Open the project’s Runtime tab, click the Add button, and add the com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet
package.
8. Open the CustomSamplePanel.java file and enter the code: of Property to be
displayed
Ex: JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
jPanel1.setLayout( new PropertyLayout() );
jPanel1.setOpaque( false );
JLabel jLabel1 = new JLabel("Test double");
PropertyTextField doubleTextField = new PropertyTextField();
doubleTextField.setProperty( "a4_MyDouble" );//This statement will get the value from database to rendere in Our Panel as a4_MyDouble is Property name in BMIDE
9. Right-click the com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet
package and choose New→File. In the File Name box, type stylesheet_user.properties
and click Finish.
This file adds content to the stylesheet.properties
file. The _user name in the file indicates that this is a custom file
provided by a user.
Open the stylesheet_user.properties file and enter the following line:
A5_MyItemRevision.JAVARENDERING=com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet.CustomSamplePanelThis setting will render the Property based
on CustomPanel code provided we have set the preference in Rich CLient
In the rich client,
create a preference for this rendering. Choose Edit→Options→Index→New
and in the Name box type A4_MyItemRevision.JAVARENDERING and in
the Values box, type com.teamcenter.rac.stylesheet.CustomSamplePanel.
Deploy Project and check:
Select Item
revision of custom Item and then View properties
*
The base component for a rich client form is a JPanel component that provides flexibility for the
placement of forms within different parent containers
