You can use Xdoclet's orion support. Instead of editing the autogenerated file you put some @tags in your source and orion-ejb-jar.xml is generated by xdoclet for you. And because you put it in your Ant build fie you always have uptodate file.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet Note that a new version will be available very soon with some fixes to some bugs in orion support/etc. So for the moment use the latest code from cvs. Stay tuned for the release.
