I've looked into this a bit more - it looks like there's no overlap in
the functionality we provide and what's in WTP. The plugin also seems to
work in both Eclipse 3.3 / WTP 2.0.2 and Eclipse 3.4 / WTP 3, with the
exception of stopping the standalone server in Eclipse 3.4, which works,
but throws an exception - I'll look at fixing that.
I also uncovered a few bugs whilst looking into this - I'll attach a
patch to Jira shortly.

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. :)

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
