Installation of J2EE

[Graham King]

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed these two packages:
NetBeans IDE + J2SE SDK
J2EE 1.4
from here

I'm trying to get into deveolping and using EJB (what i understand is part of J2EE) but whenever i have a file with

import javax.ejb.*;  

I get an "package javax.ejb does not exist"

Have i missed a stage in the installation...such as adding J2EE to my enviromental variables?

Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Hi Graham,

I�m not familiar with NetBeans IDE, but you might need to install the Java 2 Enterprise Edition SDK from here

Hi Graham
You need to mount J2ee_home/lib/j2ee.jar
in your IDE file system part. -if you use Old Netbeans-
and if you are using 4.0 then you need to add it to your class path ,in appropriate way .
I should tell you that netBeans 4.1 beta 2 support ejb and WS so i suggest you download newr version of NetBeans.

you are totally true , but Netbens 4.1 support EJB / WS out of the Box while Eclipse does not. and its better to go with netbeans for developing J2ee application instead of Eclipse and My Eclipse j2ee plugin.
