I don't think its a stupid question at all. I'm having a bit more of a
look at it now, but here's my current understanding (please do let me
know if I'm wrong!):
I think the EJB and server components were both in previous releases of
WTP. The server component provides the API for third parties to create
plugins to run their own app servers (which is what we do with the
server part of our plugin).
The EJB component of WTP provides the wizards and tool support for
creating EJBs, and provides the WTP EJB Facet. I've got this in my
current Eclipse 3.3/WTP 2.0.2 installation, and it doesn't have the
annotation generation functionality that we provide. I had a look at the
release notes for the new version of this, and didn't see any mention of
annotation generation as a new feature in the latest version (although
it looks like it either has or is planning to have functionality to
generate a deployment descriptor from annotations).
So, just thinking off the top of my head, I don't think there's any
impact, but I'll let you know what I find whilst I'm having a look at
this. :)
Cheers

You are so welcome, but I think there are a couple of new projects
under the WTP, the EJB tools and the Server tools, this is what I am
asking about, and sorry if my question is stupid :) .

Hi Mohammad,
Yep, we use WTP plugin to run the standalone OpenEJB server in Eclipse.
Looks like WTP 3 is out (we build against 2.0.2). I was going to test the
plugin with Eclipse 3.4 over the next couple of days anyway, so I'll be sure
to test it with the new WTP too. Thanks for the heads up!
Cheers

Jonathan can you please look at these links and see if they will
affect your effort for the OpenEJB Eclipse plugin.
