Indeed it is, and you and I seem to have developed something pretty similar.
Could you take a look at the XDoclet documentation / GUI mail I sent to the
list recently? Especially the attached xdoclet.xml, which is very close to
your ejbtags.xml. I'll take a closer look at your stuff, commit mine, and I
think we should cooperate on this.

Aslak.
