因为 Oracle 决定取消 Oracle Forms； 这关乎“工作保障”——Oracle 公司在为前端开发创建完美工具时犯了一个巨大的错误。 Oracle Forms 非常容易学习，具有强大的功能，您可以使用 Forms 在很短的时间内完成几乎所有事情。在 APEX 中需要花费数月开发的应用程序，使用 Oracle Forms 可以在一周内完成，而且速度更快，可用性更好。这意味着，该公司在该领域没有其他可开发的地方。从利润角度来看，这是一场灾难。没有一家软件公司希望发布完美的产品，就像没有医生希望所有人都健康一样。因此，他们声称它是“旧的”、“乳齿象”等，停止支持并提供 JDeveloper“替代”，但事实证明 JDeveloper 非常混乱和复杂，以至于没有人愿意迁移到那里；因此开发人员不得不开始使用非常原始的 htmlDB。现在有了 APEX，我们有了 GUI 功能，比如 20 年前的风格，引擎盖下的真正动物园，所有论坛都充斥着诸如“如何调整列宽？”之类的问题。 因此，这一“进步”让我们回到了过去，但更重要的是，它为公司提供了另外 20 年的发展（以及销售！），直到他们能够通过 Forms 达到目标。利润！
Because Oracle decided to kill Oracle Forms; This is about 'job security' - Oracle company made a huge mistake creating perfect tool for front-end development. Oracle Forms is very easy to learn, has huge functionality, you can do pretty much everything with Forms, and in a very short time. An application that takes months of development in APEX can be implemented less then in a week with Oracle Forms and it will be faster and with better usability. This means , the company has nothing else to develop in this field. Profit-wise this is a disaster. No software company wants to release a perfect product, exactly as no doctor wants all people to become healthy. So they claimed it as an 'old', 'mastodon' etc etc, stopped supporting and offered that JDeveloper 'instead' which turned out to be so messy and complicated that nobody even wants to migrate there; so developers had to start using htmlDB which was very primitive. Now with APEX we have GUI features, like, 20 years old style, a real zoo under the hood, and all forums are flooded with questions like 'how do I adjust column width?' So this 'progress' took us way back into the past, but what's more important, it gave the company another 20 years of development (and SALES!) until they will manage to get to where they were with Forms. Profit!
Oracle Forms 是一项古老的技术。最初是典型客户端-服务器架构中哑终端的字符模式。由于其庞大的安装基础（例如机构），Forms 经受住了从胖客户端升级到瘦客户端的每一次技术创新。其实它是乳齿象，不容易学，已经过时了。 现有表单更有可能被移至 Apex 页面。
Oracle Forms is an old technology. Originally in character mode for dumb terminals in a typical client-server architecture. Due it's large installed base by e.g. institutionals, Forms survided every technology innovations, upgraded from thick clients to thin clients. Actually its a mastodon, not easy to learn, outdated. It's more likely existing Forms are moved to Apex pages.

Oracle 在本文档中声明，从 2014 年 4 月起，将支持 Oracle Forms，并引用第 8 页中的“无限期”。 http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-middleware-069163.pdf 。
无需担心...
Oracle states in this document from april 2014, that Oracle Forms will be supported, quoting "indefinitely" from page 8. http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-middleware-069163.pdf .
No need to worry ...
