Please check out my java.sun.com interview with Java Champion and Java EE expert Adam Bien, who says:

* "There are three big fallacies. First, believing that J2EE is complex; second, believing that Java EE 5 is easy, and third, believing that distributed programming could be simpler."

* “The best advice I know is: ‘Don't distribute’.”

* “Large-scale IT projects are inherently inefficient. It’s a misconception to even talk about a large-scale project.”

* "Most of the Javadoc comments in projects are worthless. They
redundantly describe information that can be easily obtained from the method's signature."
