Hi,

I could create a EJB Project, however there is a red “x” on the ejb-jar.xml file. In addition, when I create a EJB (Session & Entity), there is no home/remote interface files created. Does it mean I have to create them by myself? Moreover, there is nothing added into the ejb-jar.xml file.

Finally, where can I define the JNDI stuff in MyEclipse?

Thanks
Kenny

Kenny,

Our EJB facilities rely on XDoclet to generate your ejb-jar.xml file and interfaces. A good place to start is in the MyEclipse User Guide at:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jsp

The online version has been updated for the v2.6.0 release so it’s a little better today (8/22) than the bundled version in v2.5.1 so please use the site version until the new release is available.

In the User Guide, please read the Tasks section on working with EJB’s and EJB projects. Also be sure to read the Web tutorial for just a good overview of MyEclipse. Additionally, the XDoclet overview and reference have good information too.

Hi,

I’m new to J2EE, having never developed a J2EE application before.

I have used VB.60 and have some exposure to VB.Net

We are just getting involved in a project that uses and application called LGOL – developed in J2ee

We might need to create our own bolt-ons in J2ee i.e. an EJB

I want a cheap but productive development enviroment with a good debugger, something that wouldn’t be too unfamiliar to a Visual Studio user. Something that will help me find my way around the J2EE world..

Will MyEclipse do this, why should I pick this product and not another?

Regards

wrighnick,
I would say the biggest decision you have to make is if you like the Eclipse environment or not. If you have used Eclipse, and like it and it feels farmiliar enough to you and you would like to do EJB development with it, then MyEclipse is the complimentary fit to that. At $30/year you are looking at around 8 cents a day to run MyEclipse, the support is free with an average answer turn around time of a few hours. Also our user base is growing by leaps and bounds, so we must be doing something right 😉

Please see our feature list here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-15.html

From your requirements list (namely “cheap but productive”) it seems that MyEclipse is a perfect fit. There may be more robust tools out there like JBuilder X Enterprise, but when you are looking at a $4k/per developer license fee, it becomes an impossibility. IntelliJ is another very strong IDE, but again it is considerably more expensive than MyEclipse at around $500/per developer.

Please let us know if there are particular questions you would like answered and we will do our best to address them.
