..net doesn't have structure? I doubt that is correct. .Net doesn't have ejb,
that's true, but it has alternatives that's just as good. Especially it
doesn't have anything that matches container managed persistence entity
beans. I don't think cmp entity beans are as bad as people suggest these
days, but you really can make it without them.

Well, if you don't have it don't use it.

Well, I'm very biased towards JDeveloper from Oracle, which is definitely
not open source, but still very competitive when it comes to price. But I'm
sure Eclipse will do the job. Actually I haven't tried Eclipse much due to
me assuming it's a pain to configure. That may ofcourse not be true. Maybe
you could afford to use a very cheap closed source development tool while
still deploying your app on an open source platform?

Another nice development tool is Netbeans. I guess you'll just have to
figure out for yourself which one you like the most.

If you need to use open source, Oracle db is pretty much ruled out. Many
project uses MySQL, but personally I like PostgreSQL and the fact that it
has had all the features one expect from a rdbms for years, while MySQL is
still playing catchup.

As an alternative to JBoss you could consider Jonas, or Apache Geronimo. You
even has an open source .net-alternative: Mono.
