General EJB features
IntelliJ IDEA features the complete EJB support. It understands EJB specifications from 1.x to 3.0, and leverages them through all of its productivity-boosting features - from coding assistance to refactoring, creating the environment ideally suited for developing EJB applications.
- File and live templates for entity, session, message and other beans.
- Auto-generating code for CMP beans, fields and relationships.
- Dedicated context editors for all supported beans.
- Automatic building of standard EJB deployment packages.

- Complete EJB-aware coding assistance:
