correct me if I'm wrong
Eclipse is a powerful framework for development tools. It is implemented in Java and "out of the box" contains the tools to serve as a Java IDE. You are able to program EJBs with a clean install of Eclipse. If you want wizards to help you program EJBs, you have to download plugins that provide that functionality.
Websphere Studio Application Developer is built upon the Eclipse framework and comes with
EJB wizards on a clean install.
Hope this helps.
