title: RAD's autogenerated EJBs stubs, are them necessary?
body: <p>recently I was involved in maintenance of a project.<br>
  This project is very old and the build process is all demanded to IBM RAD.<br>
  We have to rebuild the entire project from scratch, but in the meanwhile we have to maintain this old one.<br>
  I want to move to a CI system and automatize the build process using such software like Maven or Gradle (preferred).<br>
  The problem is that this project is using some IBM libraries to work with EJB (a field in which I'm very poor of knowledge and experience), and I have an <em>ejbModule</em> which is full of classes that aren't in SVN and are autogenerated from RAD (all stub classes).<br>
  What is the purpose of the stub?<br>
  After see this, I'm not very sure if is possible to automatize the build process, does someone have some experience with this?  </p>
  
  <p>Sorry for the lack of details, I don't know what I can add to be more detailed, incase something more is needed ask.</p>
