RE: [jBoss-User] OpenSource EJB-Capable IDE

[Jay Walters]

I'd like to hear more about what you are doing for management tools.  Are you generating the Home/Remote from the bean class?  I've been looking in the market at those types of things both COTS and Open Source in terms of generating EJBs and their associated deployment files, etc.

 

Cheers

From what I can tell, some IDEs make it cute to create, but not maintain EJBs. 

I am writing EJB management tools myself.  For example, I will generate my own

ejb-jar.xml, home/remote interface, etc.

 

A great tool idea, I think, is a "EJB-Jar Verifier".  This tool would take a .jar file

ready for deployment and verify all info is intact.  It seems like many issues

regarding get/set methods, finder methods, primary-key info are impossible to

verify until deployment (RuntimeMBeanException or DeployException). 

I'm currently researching such a tool to "integrate".

 

My "IDE" is [SlickEdit; Karmira debugger].  Works great and this pairing is available for

both Windows and Linux.  Sorry, neither are Open Source, but SlickEdit is top-notch.

Does anyone know of an EJB-Capable OpenSource IDE?  I've tried several IDE's, and have been mostly coding my EJB's by hand, but I have a couple mid-scale open source projects coming up that I will be working on, and it would be nice to have an IDE that could understand EJB stuff (keep the interface/classes in sync, check for required methods, maybe even write the ejb-jar.xml file....).

What are others using?
