JBoss "officially" supports and recommends using xdoclet for generating home, remote, local, localhome interfaces and the ejb-jar.xml and vendor specific deployment descriptors. I have yet to hear of anyone trying xdoclet and wanting a gui-like or wizard based solution for this stuff.
What _is_ extremely handy is jde code generation templates that generate the xdoclet tags with the methods. For instance, I have some for mbean attributes, that generate get/set pairs with the @jmx managed-attribute tags in the javadoc. Ones for ejb methods and get-set pairs would also be extremely handy. I'd like these to be part of jde if there is interest, otherwise I will try to figure out how to include it in jboss. I think to officially support something like this effectively in jde there would need to be a way of swapping sets of templates in and out of the menu and keyboard shortcut system, depending on the "template mode" you are in: ejb, mbean, jdo, jsp, etc. There already is a little j2ee support in jde, you can get some code generation for basic session and entity beans. I find generating a new class as an entity or session bean is more convenient. My current templates are for I think one or 2 jde releases ago, I haven't had time to upgrade to the latest yet. david jencks On 2002.07.22 17:42:20 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Does anyone know of or is anyone interested in there being J2EE (ie EJB) > support in JDEE?
