Good project, little glitch and suggestions

[loki.jf]

Hey,

I tried the project out and was brightly surprised :p

A bug I noticed was on Windows, in the roo.bat file, the path in the Java command that uses the %ROO_HOME% variable should be in quotes for the case where %ROO_HOME% contains a space. (might be a problem in the sh file too... didn't check)

Also, I think that for a even better start for any audience, there should at least be basic support for internationalization (as in text stored in properties files and translated in a few principal languages) and user auto registration (or have more default users), although it does not seems too hard to do, it would make for more wows.

Just an idea: I could see each spring project having it's own roo plugin and thus add more power to the base commands.

Absolutely. This is something that we're working on. Ben's SpringOne demo showed how easy it was to add Spring Security to a Roo application.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Thanks for the info about the space in path problem. We're currently refactoring the installation requirement to remove the ROO_HOME variable.

I've linked to this forum post and also noted the requirement to test with spaces in the path to the relevant Jira issue:
