FAQ:

Q: Do we require JDeveloper always for OIM customization ?

Ans : We use JDeveloper for any customization required . If it is a minimum customization then probably you don’t need JDeveloper . If you want to extend and customize ADF only then you need JDeveloper otherwise there is a rough composer where you can select entity object , view objects etc . for example for  changing the header information , logo no JDeveloper is required. If you want to add a new search panel or similar things within OIM system then you will requite JDeveloper .
