 ===== EJB 3.0 =====
-Recognising that the interests of developers where poorly served by the last versions of the EJB specification, Sun has set up a working group to develop version 3.0 of the specifications.
+Recognising that the interests of developers where poorly served by the last versions of the EJB specification, Sun set up a working group to develop version 3.0 of the specifications.
-Early indications are:
-Inspired by XDoclet (itself inspired by .NET) EJB 3.0 will make extensive use of annotations (a new feature of Java 1.5) to reduce the need for so many interface files.
+The final spec is now in general release:
-Business components will be standard Java Objects.
