Validation error on retry count for session bean

Question

Hi,
In our weblogic-ejb-jar.xml we have configured a retry count for a specific method on a local session bean. When I click on 'Browse' to select a specific method, it only shows '*' as a possible value. When we type the method name by hand, it shows a red cross next to the input field with the error 'Cannot find method "exampleMethod()" in the ExampleBean's Local interfaces'.
We use EJB 3.0 and OEPE 12.1.1.0.1 with Eclipse 3.7.2
The weblogic-ejb-jar.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-ejb-jar xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-ejb-jar"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-ejb-jar http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-ejb-jar/1.2/weblogic-ejb-jar.xsd">
    <retry-methods-on-rollback>
     <retry-count>3</retry-count>          
        <method>
            <ejb-name>ExampleBean</ejb-name>
            <method-intf>Local</method-intf>
            <method-name>exampleMethod</method-name>
       </method>
    </retry-methods-on-rollback>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>The bean looks like this:
@Stateless(mappedName = MappedName.DONNA)
@TransactionAttribute(value = TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)
public class ExampleBean implements Example {
}And the interface:
@Local
public interface Example {
}Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.
