Some ignorant comments aside, there's some truth in what you say. And I apologise, I let my frustration at xdoclet get to me. I'm not sure that you're correct in your criticism of free software though, sure some will fail regardless of technical merit because the community fails to support it properly but I don't think that's a reason to go running back to commercial software straight away, but you're entitled to your opinion of course.

The missing imports are because the imports are the interfaces
that you are
generating.

The tests use the local or remote interfaces of the EJBs, but the
interfaces
simply haven't been generated yet. This isn't really a problem, and there
isn't really a way around this.

There is a way around it. Upgrade to XDoclet 1.2beta.

Nice to see your attitude has improved towards open source projects

"Let's face it. Most people's first impression count." I wonder if it ever
occured to Edward Kenworthy that this applies to people too. LOL!

Ok so after all the problems trying to use xdoclet with my own code I
thought "I know, I'll try the samples - they'll work." How wrong could
I be.

How can you have any confidence in a tool (and how can you be using
it?) when the samples won't compile without errors and the deployment
descriptor it generates is fucked ?

Mr Kenworthy, you seem to be utterly ignorant of the way open source
software works. You see, XDoclet is a tool developed by a dozen volunteers
which they have chosen to give away for free. Since you don't like it and
seemingly are uncapable of asking polite questions and searching mail
archives, I suggest you buy a commercial tool that can do the job for you.
Then you have bought the right to complain. Weening about free software's
flaws in their own forums will get you nowhere (except exposing for
thousands of people your mediocre technical and social skills).

I'll help you reduce the risk of asking more questions of this sort. Just
read this:
