I'm developing EJB components using WebLogic and would like to exploit a
feature of the WebLogic wlcompile Ant task to generate EJB classes and
deployment descriptors from meta-data tags in the implementation class
using the EJBGen utility.

One of the prereqs of using this feature is that your EJB components
implementation class have a file extension of .ejb(not .java). However
when I give my implementation class a .ejb extension I seem to lose many
of the features of the eclipse java editor.

I've created a file association for .ejb files to the java editor under
the preferences menu. This does in fact allow the java editor to be used
on .ejb files, however the only java editor feature that seems to work is
the color syntax highlighting. I don't get any code complete, automatic
import statements or context sensitive help.

Does anyone know of a way to configure eclipse to treat a .ejb file
exactly the same way it does a .java file.

Thanks for your help...
