You have the option of not installing SJAS (there's even a NetBeans bundle that does not includes it). Then Download and install JBoss 4.0.3 which is supported by current Netbeans5 beta, configure Netbeans to use it (Runtime Window > Servers > Add Server) and you'll have all Java EE features. If you won't use EJB and JMS you may well forget about SJAS or JBoss and just use the included Tomcat for JSP, Servlets and WebServices. []s, Fernando Lozano
