.ejb3 and eclipse

[pbaker01]

I'm using myeclipse and JBoss. I'm unable to deploy simple ejb3 app via Eclipse. I am new to ejb....

Problems:
1)
@Stateless, @Remote, @Local causes a syntax errors

2)
I am getting errors in the EJB class and both interface classes.

ACTypeServiceBean:

@Stateless
public class ACTypeServiceBean implements ACTypeServiceRemote, ACTypeServiceLocal {

@Stateless is flagged as a syntax error
No error is shown but ACTypeServiceBean is underlined in red.

ACTypeServiceLocal:

@Local
public interface ACTypeServiceLocal extends ACTypeService {

@Local is flagged as a syntax error
ACTypeService is underlined; error is:
ACTypeService can not be resolved or is not a valid superinterface.

Do I need a special JBoss Eclipse plugin. Has anyone successfully been able to deploy an .ejb app using Eclipse? Can you share the problems that you had to overcome?

Thanks in advance! Paul

Annotations are Java 5, and is not supported in older Eclipse versions. You need to use the latest Eclipse version (3.1M5a), and to make sure that you compile with Java 5.
