					</li>
					<li>
						for invoking the Java EE artifact wizards (Servlet, Session Bean, etc.)

			<description>
				A new wizard is introduced for generating EJB 3.0 Session 
				Bean classes and interfaces. The following features can be 
				highlighted: 
				<ul>
					<li>
						Metadata is injected as Java annotations in the 
						source code	instead of described in the ejb-jar.xml 
						deployment descriptor. 
					</li>
					<li>
						Optionally, Local and Remote Business interfaces 
						can be generated.  
					</li>
					<li>
						Optionally, Home and Component interfaces can be 
						generated for backward compatibility with the 
						EJB 2.x specification. 
					</li>
				</ul>
