JBoss somehow IS another JavaEE SDK, as the Sun J2EE SDK is nothing more than a bundle of IDE, AppServer, and some tools. So pick e.g. JBossIDE and JBoss and you have another flavor of a JavaEE SDK. JavaEE is just a standard, so you need an appserver which is compatible to this standard, and an IDE supporting it.
