If you have a problem with me or my ego, please add me to your kill-file
or something.

One would usually do both, i.e. first edit the jar for deployment
settings, and then drop it into a directory upon which it would get
deployed. This is also highly useful during development: if you update
the jar or XML-DD the server will automatically re-deploy it. So,
instead of editing the file and then going to some server console to
re-deploy, the server does it for you. All of our users seem to be happy
about this (haven't had any complaints about it anyway).

I don't exactly know what you're referring to here. FWIW, I have already
taken just about all the UI classes available here at the university
(yeah, I'm an undergrad student for 2 more days). Is there something
about EJBoss (or EJX?) that you don't like?
In general, if you have any comments about any software written by me, I
humbly suggest that you send them to me personally instead of sending
them to a public mailing list about EJB. I have written quite a lot of
OpenSource software which is available from my site, of which EJX have
been partially sponsored and everything else is unpaid work. These are
tools from one developer, hoping to make the lives of other developers
simpler. If you don't like my tools, either let me know what to fix, or
simply don't use them. You certainly haven't paid anything for them.

I have no idea what you're talking about. We (EJBoss) have the
following:
Beans can be put in a directory, and will automatically be deployed into
the container. If we compare with weblogic they want you to either edit
some properties file, or use a console to deploy the bean. We like our
solution better, but if you really really want the properties file (or
similar) I guess we could add that.
