This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
It would be nice if the application client could be based on the NetBeans platform. Now one has to jump through considerable hoops (http://wiki.netbeans.info/wiki/view/DevFaqAppClientOnNbPlatform) to get a NetBeans instance to run and even then several exceptions popup and the @EJB annotation cannot be used in the client for EJB injection.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
