In an EJB Module project, metadata is stored as Javadoc statements in the sources. If you have imported sources that do not contain these statements (for example, from another development environment), you need to generate the Javadoc statements. The Javadoc statements are generated from the information in the ejb-jar.xml file.
1. In the J2EE Explorer or J2EE DC Explorer, select the ejb-jar.xml node.
2. Form the context menu, choose Propagate Metadata to Sources.
