I was having the same issues (content assist not working with annotations). It's working now after I did the following:

- Read web page; http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/apt/index.html

-- Notice that at the top of the page it identifies Eclipse 1.3.1 (I was using 1.3)
-- Notice that you have to use JDK 1.5 (and double checke that it's set in the Eclispe Preferences when you complete these steps).

- I installed 1.3.1
- I installed the following plugins

-- For JBoss - http://jboss.sourceforge.net/jbosside/updates
-- For Anno - http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/apt/JdtAptUpdateSite
-- For EJB 3 - http://download.jboss.org/jbosside/updates/development/

- I followed the instructions found on the JDT webpage to copy tool.jar.
- Restarted Eclipse

After I did this the annotations code assist/complete worked as in the Trailblazer. I tried the plugins without upgrading to 1.3.1 and still had the same issue (no code assist).

Differnet combinations may work but this works for me.

annotation completion is an eclipse 3.1 thing - not dependent on jbosside to work.

Sen me through guide

Just re-read my post. It should be eclipse 3.1.1 not 1.3.1. Sorry for the confussion.

To get the annotation to work, you need JdtApt for annotation processing. Which you can install from:

http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/apt/JdtAptUpdateSite

Then in the Project->Properties expand Java Compiler and Annotation Processor->Factory Path. Now you need to add the EJB 3.0 annotation processing factory jars. Once you have added the appropriate libraries, the annotations should work. Please note that I have not done it only read it somewhere on the web.

Now can anyone tell me which JBoss jar file contains EJB 3.0 annotation processing factories?
