FormsTool comes with a variety of useful tools. The DeveloperCompare tool and the PowerSearch for example are two of the tools that many developers can use almost on a daily base.
DeveloperCompare lets you visually compare and merge differences in objects, properties, and code between two Forms or Reports Modules. You can even say which objects and properties should be compared and which ignored. No more guessing what changes broke the new version - with this tool you know the answer within a few seconds! It's also great for other common structured development practices like Code Reviews, TwoStream Development and Change Management. The DeveloperCompare utility is a handy tool that can safe you hours of frustration and work!
PowerSearch enables you to search through hundreds of modules(Forms,Reports,text files,etc) in minutes. PowerSearch handles all the common search problems (whitespaces, ignoring comments/strings, wildcards, etc) for you by using special rules that take PL/SQL syntax into consideration. In the Property-Search mode you can even have complex search criterias based on one or more property values. An example of such a search would be to find all items based on column "first_name" that have a data lenght unequal to 30 characters.
