Well, there are two ways you can do stuff. Either put everything in a single fat application (like JBuilder) or have specialized tools for each task. I think specialized tools are the way to go since you can startup the things you need and don't need to load tens of megs no matter if you need them all the time or just sometimes.
IDEAs file synchronization makes it easy to have multiple tools open even editing the same files. This way you can have your favourite UML tool for example running together with IDEA, using the UML tool for things it is good at and using IDEA for the "hardcore" coding. In the same manner I'd rather like to have a standalone EJB tool for creating base classes, deployment descriptor, etc. and keep IDEA clean and simple (yet powerful) for editing Java source (in the first place), compiling projects, running ant tasks. By the way, is there any (good) such EJB tool that is made just for (and therefore specialized on) managing EJBs and related stuff (like deployment descriptors)?
