* It's easier to just use JBoss AS, and it is a nicer development experience, since hot deploy works better than in plain Tomcat * EJB3 vs. Hibernate is really up to you. If you are already using Hibernate in your project, there is no really strong reason to change at this stage. You can always switch to JPA later if you like. * Probably the most pain you will experience is getting everything working nicely with Maven, but at least you have discovered a good starting point for that.
