Does JBoss EAP 6 support @LocalBinding EJB annotat

Question

I am in the process of migrating an application from JBoss EAP 5.1 to 6.3. I am resolving compilation errors and one that i am getting right now is

 package org.jboss.ejb3.annotation does not exist
[javac] import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.LocalBinding;

I did a bit of digging around and from what i gather, they say that in javaee6, they discontinued this to standardize the ejb namespaces. Is this true? Some background information on this would help as well

According to the JBoss issue AS7-3015, JBoss ...no longer supports binding to custom JNDI names for EJBs.

The same information is also mentioned, at least, in two more JBoss forum discussion threads:

• Overload EJB jndi binding but @LocalBinding not found
• Custom JNDI Names

Therefore, the EJBs are only bounded to java:global, java:app, java:module namespaces as mandated by the specification.
