Tony, For EJB code generation, JDEE has wizards for creating EJB session, entity bean skeletons, I think -- although I've never used them. We're just using session beans, and have our own template (you can add your own templates for wizards in JDEE).
To create jars, ears, etc., I would recommend using Ant. Ant is like an improved version of make, for Java development. JDEE integrates with ant. You can invoke Ant from JDEE, navigate to compile errors, etc. We use Ant to build our wars, jars, and ears, and invoke Ant from different IDE's (JDEE / Emacs and JBuilder. Most of us are using Emacs, but we still have a few JBuilder holdouts!) You can edit the Ant build.xml file using Emacs built-in SGML mode (other xml editing modes are available, I think). I don't think you want to control your build and packaging process from your IDE, as that would make your project dependent on that IDE, it's harder to invoke an IDE from an automated build process, etc. It's better to use a standard build tool like Ant, and integrate that with your IDE.

I believe that there are JDEE users who are using it to do EJB and so would be in a better position to advise you about its suitability. - Paul
