[ajug-members] Opinions on a project re-write - To EJB3 or Not

[Barry Hawkins]

Ah, that had its first snapshots about 6 months after I needed a  
solution.  Looks like another good alternative to Pitchfork that also  
appeared to address the lack of testing utilities in the EJB3  
implementations.

Of those who are using EJB3 and actually doing testing, how many of  
you are using ejb3unit and how many are using Pitchfork?  Just curious.
