Introducing Real Force Explorer

I have been working on Salesforce for a last few months. It is a great platform with so much of flexibility. One thing they got to do a lot of work is around developer tools.

One recurring thing I do whenever I deal with Salesforce is to explore the objects, understand their relationships. It is not that easy to understand the objects relationships in the “user friendly” web UI nor in the Force.com Explorer.

Even though Force.com Explorer has some features like querying for data, displaying the child relationships, I really not comfortable with UI layout or the feel of Air components (hey, I really tried to like it :) ).

Long story short, I thought there is some opportunity for a nice tool to explore some aspects of Salesforce.com and started on a tool based on the fantastic Eclipse platform (Never tried Netbeans RCP platform so cannot speak for that). With in few weeks of time, I have added enough features to the tool that I would like to release to wider audience. Check it out.

I dedicate this tool to Kashyap (today he is 14 months old).

      @Rama Krishna, I don’t think I have any plans to open source the tool at this time. But sure planning to add many features.
