Build: NB 5.5 beta 3rd July 06 daily, pack 9th May 06

I am using the @EJB annotation to allow one session EJB to inject a reference to
another:

@Stateful
public class PurchaseBean implements PurchaseRemote {
...
  @EJB(name="ejb/processPayment",
    beanInterface=ProcessPaymentLocal.class,
    beanName="ProcessPaymentBean")
   private ProcessPaymentLocal payment;
...
} 

The expectation was that the @EJB sets up the ENC entry
"java:comp/env/ejb/processPayment" and that the actual JNDI deployment name
would be specified in sun-ejb-jar.xml

First of all netbeans seems to generate:

<ejb>
     <ejb-name>PurchaseBean</ejb-name>
     <ejb-ref>
       <ejb-ref-name>payment</ejb-ref-name>
       <jndi-name>ejb/payment</jndi-name>
     </ejb-ref>
   </ejb> 

no matter what arguments I pass to @EJB. So I changed the file manually to look
like this:

<ejb>
     <ejb-name>PurchaseBean</ejb-name>
     <ejb-ref>
       <ejb-ref-name>ejb/processPayment</ejb-ref-name>
       <jndi-name>uk.ac.aber.dcs.bookshop.model.ProcessPaymentLocal</jndi-name>
     </ejb-ref>
   </ejb>

This deployed fine and worked. However, if I exit Netbeans and start it again,
my sun-ejb-jar.xml settings are overwritten and set back to the first example
shown above! If I just use @EJB without any arguments and delete the
sun-ejb-jar.xml file then during deployment I receive the error: 

Deploying application in domain failed; Error loading deployment descriptors for
module [BookshopWithJSPandEJB] -- This application client has no ejb refernce by
the name payment

and the file is re-created with the default contents on stop exiting and
starting NB anyway.

Is there some way of telling NB 5.5 not to re-create the sun-ejb-jar.xml file
but leave it alone? Shouldn't NB 5.5 derive information from the name parameter
of the @EJB annotation and use that in the xml file? There is also a mappedName
para that it could use.
