at this stage do not use any ide.since you are fresh to EJB.
Since you are starting go through books focused at EJB 3.0 directly.You do not have time(in case you want to first do EJB 2.0 and then EJB 3.0 it will be a good learning curve). You can read the first 2 chapters to get to know and understand what EJB is and how it is different from RMI.
At this stage you do not have any book focussed at SCBCD 5.0 (I wonder how anyone can prepare a book when the official syllabus is itself not yet finalized)
You have Mastering EJB 3.0 in PDF and in print format (pdf is freely available)
there is one more book by orielly.
If you have already referred any of there books you know what to expect depending upon your liking choose either or both.
There are few more available on EJB 3.0.
I am not aware of the content and the type of content.
You need a server that supports EJB 3.0
You need the lib files in case you havec a server which does not have the necessary files.
