Software Tools

Tools & Extensions

Purpose-built tools that keep your Oracle Forms and Oracle E-Business Suite applications running on modern desktops and browsers.

Software Tool · Oracle Forms stand-alone

ThinApplet EXEJar

Convert your Oracle Forms applications into stand-alone executables & run Oracle Forms on Windows, macOS and Linux, without a browser.

Is your browser or Java version not supported by your Oracle Forms application? Is Google Chrome complaining about NPAPI support? Does JInitiator crash your browser? Do you want to use Java 1.8 or higher? Then this is the right tool for you.

  • Run your Forms applications without a browser, using Java 1.7 or higher
  • No more browser incompatibilities or crashes: run your Forms application with a native Java JRE on Windows, Linux and macOS
  • Support of the old SSLv2 protocol, also under Java 1.8+

ThinApplet EXEJar desktop application: enter a Forms URL and create an executable JAR file

How ThinApplet EXEJar works

Convert your Oracle Forms application into an executable JAR file in 3 simple steps:

  1. Run ThinApplet EXEJar and enter your Oracle Forms URL.
  2. Click on “Export” and save the generated JAR file.
  3. Double-click the generated JAR file (or run it with java -jar yourapp.jar). You can also use tools like Launch4j to convert the JAR file into a .EXE prior to distribution.
Software Tool · Oracle Forms/EBS

ThinForms Chrome Extension

Run your Oracle EBS (R12+) and Oracle Forms (10+) applications with the latest Chrome browser (Windows and macOS) or Microsoft Edge (Chromium). No NPAPI required.

  • Cookie and SSO support, native EBS login
  • Fixes various Forms bugs, e.g. the TAB key in the database login screen (simply enable it in the extension options)
  • And it’s simple: install the extension straight from the Chrome Web Store

Chrome uses the ThinForms Java Host app to run your Forms applications. All required files are downloaded for you by the Chrome extension. Alternatively, you can install the ThinForms Java Host application directly from our Downloads page.

Oracle E-Business Suite running in Google Chrome via the ThinForms extension

How the ThinForms Chrome Extension works

To run your Forms applications from Google Chrome, you need 2 main components: the ThinForms Chrome Extension and the ThinForms Java Host application.

  1. The ThinForms Chrome Extension keeps an eye out for Oracle Forms and Oracle EBS applets.
  2. ThinForms uses Native Messaging to communicate with the Java Host application.
  3. The Java Host application downloads (and caches) all Forms JAR files…
  4. …and then starts your Forms/EBS application.
  5. The extension and the Java Host are tightly integrated, and support SSO and cookies (e.g. for Oracle Reports authentication).
