I use the JBossIDE and Test EJB3 - Annotation Help

[java.jago]

1. Is there a concisive overview (document) of all Annotations and what they mean ???

2. @OneToMany (cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)

Could I directly get a help for e.g. @OneToMany or CascadeType.ALL directly in Eclipse ? With normal Classes etc. the JavaDoc is shown when I hover above the class - given the sources of this class are attached.

What do I have to do to attach somehow the sources for the EJB3 libraries in order to get this help messages ???

Cheers,

1. go read ejb3 spec and hibernate annotations docs

2. yes, you need to add the source of these annotations. works like a charm. This is done as with any other jar in eclipse - right click and specify the source location.

Sure i is done easily...but from where do I get the sources ???

Because some of the stuff we are using with EJB3 is not from JBoss but from third-party like Sun.

E.g.: If you download the source of the JBoss AS - you have a folder thirdparty - in there is e.g. ejb-annotations.jar (NO Source - .class files). I would need the Source...

For:

ejb3-persistence.jar
ejb3-annotations.jar

From where to get ??? All my Internet research doesn`t work...
