Ok, so you are looking for the "old" xdoclet option - that is no longer in JBoss tools since it was not maintained and it overlapped with WTP functionallity. If you google for WTP xdoclet you should find a couple of tutorials and screencasts on how to use it (but i'm not sure how uptodate they are because of xdoclet being a dying tech) If you have the choice then yes, definitly use Annotations instead of xdoclet!
