Very Silly But Valid Question : Annotation Compiler error

[mandarjboss]

Hi All
I am developing an application with EJB 3.0. Now I don' t have any IDE. I have written a Simple Stateless session bean may be a bean that simply returns you the "Hello" message.Sice it is EJB3.0 compliant it contains Annotations. But When I compile the class ,I get an error "@Stateless can not be resolved to a type". Obviously you need some kind of Jar file in classpath that includes the coorespoonding Annotation processor. Can anybody tell me the Jar file which can compile all of my EJB 3.0 beans to compile successfully? Also please tell me the package that I need to include in order to compile the class containing annotations successfully.

The @Stateless annotation is in the javax.ejb package so you need this import:

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

In the JBoss EJB3 implementation, the Stateless class is located in jboss-ejb3x.jar.

Scott

Also, are you using a 5.0 JDK? Annotations won't work with 1.4.2.
