I got rid off the compilation errors, although I have errors while deploying, but I'll try to read about EJB 3.0 and solve these issues myself. I'll get back to the forum, if I can not solve the problems.
I installed Netbeans on my computer, because I heard that it's the best for Java EE development, but it runs so darn slowly that it's painful to use. I'll give Eclipse a try also, maybe that'll be faster. Thanks to all for their help.
