I hadn’t used MyEclipse since a year ago because the documentation said you had to use J2EE 1.3 to have XDoclet support with EJBs. I just installed version 4.0.3 and the latest tutorials still say you have to use J2EE 1.3. XDoclet 1.2.3 seems to claim to support J2EE 1.4. So I have a couple of questions.

1. Is it true that we still have to use J2EE 1.3 for EJBs and J2EE applications but can use J2EE 1.4 for only for standalone web apps?
2. If so, when is it estimated to be able to use J2EE 1.4 for EJBs and J2EE applications?

Where do I find this information in the documentation? So far I have gleaned this from the tutorials (specifically “Getting started/EJB Development” and “Getting Started/Enterprise Application Projects”) both of which only discuss and push using XDoclet support.

What should I do if I want to use J2EE version 1.4 throughout?

thanks for any information!

There is no hard limitation on using Xdoclet in J2EE 1.4 project. I believe the limitation is that the version of XDoclet we ship may not support the EJB3 spec yet, but yous hould be fine using it all in a project together.

Also make sure to set your versions properly for your doclets so the proper descriptors are generated for a J2EE 1.4 app.
