You can also use your existing JBoss 4.0.4 (with EJB support installed), with an existing NetBeans installation. You can do that by going to Tools -> Server Manager in NetBeans 5.5 builds, clicking "Add Server", choosing "JBoss Application Server 4" and following the wizard. Then you select JBoss as the target server when creating your projects. The advantage of the JBoss NetBeans IDE is exactly that you don't need to do the above. Rather than downloading and installing two pieces of software and then wiring them together, you just download and install the JBoss NetBeans IDE in one step and everything is integrated out of the box.
