Download the software. Usually this is the easiest part. Just go to otn
go to Developer Tools and choose traditional tools.
Following a few links I got to the following page:
So far so good. Normally I would get suspicious (Fusion Middleware??) but the phrase (contains forms 11.1.1.) gave me confidence.
Next page:
Now I was confused. In my opnion Oracle Forms is a development tool, but the For Development section says: Jdeveloper+ADF. Where can I download Oracle Forms? As there was only one valid option (forms is not for deployment ?) I decided to download and install
Oracle JDeveloper 11g Rel 1 (11.1.1.1.0) (JDeveloper + ADF)
After download and install I got exactly what Oracle said I would get: Jdeveloper + ADF. No Oracle Forms. (Afterwards this was ok, I had not installed Jdeveloper11g yet)After some surfing on OTN I could not found another download area with Oracle Forms so I decided to navigate back to the fusion middleware page. Finally I decided to push the download button in the For Deployment section and to my big surprise there was a link to download Oracle Forms:
UPDATE:
I probably was not the only one that could not find the software. See Jan Carlin's blog:

Thank you for your feedback on the download locations of Oracle Forms. I have updated the page you come to from the Forms page on OTN with instructions that should make this less confusing. Let me know if you have any comments.
