Lol, I remember so many times haveint to install XDoclet in order to
develop my EJB's in any sane amount of time.

But I understand and agree with your point here.  EJB development
required so much boilerplate code that it slowed the developer down big
time.  It took tools like XDoclet to come along and make the boilerplate
code somewhat manageable before developing with EJB's was very
productive IMHO.  I recently talked about this at:
http://www.serverzen.net/weblog/archive/2006/01/02/boilerplate-zope-projects

For the record (and as my blog entry mentions), Skeletor seems to strive
to be XDoclet for Zope2.
