Please stand by until the Roo Shell is completely loaded

[dukha]

Hi
I just started with STS 2.3.3.M1.

I made a roo project with sts. I then went <Project> right click Spring Tools Open Roo Shell. All I got was Please stand by until the Roo Shell is completely loaded I fiddled and did something and eventually it loaded. However now I created another project and I can't get the shell to get passed Please stand by until the Roo Shell is completely loaded Can't remember what I did. The only forum reference that I could find advised to set ROO_HOME which I did (to the roo dir under sts). Didn't help.

Any ideas what to do?

(Using suse linux 11.2)

Same thing here.

As I just posted above, this happens to me with a development version of Roo, not with production zipped releases (1.1.0.M1 works fine, but 1.1.0.M2 from the maven build doesn't).

You shouldn't need the env variable anymore either.

For me it worked after I went to Preferences > Spring > Roo Support and selected the Roo Installations directory again (using Edit.. button)

Same here using a roo version built from source:
I defined another roo instance in preferences and pointed to src/roo/bootstrap/target/osgi

Next, when you start STS from the command line, then you see from the console output that when the roo shell tries to fire up, there are unresolved bundles;

Next, STS hangs on this;

Using this roo version standalone now - outside of STS

I started building a project with
sts-2.5.0.M3-e3.6-carbon for Mac.
I'm also trying to do Flex integration per the Jeremy Grelle videos...
http://blog.springsource.com/2010/07/14/introducing-the-flex-addon-for-spring-roo/
This version of STS actually ships with
roo-1.1.0.M3
But to use the flex setup Roo shell commands you need a very specific earlier build roo-1.1.0.M1.
See this thread
http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?p=323851#post323851
When I discovered I couldn't do the flex setup from the shell I proceeded to download the older build and setup ROO_HOME/repoint STS.
But now I can't get past the point where the Shell hangs with the dreaded
'Please stand by until the Roo shell is completely loaded.'
It's not a problem to delete project and restart at this point.
I'm guessing there's some sort of Eclipse STS problem here, because Roo works fine from Terminal window on my Mac.
Do Maven dependencies need repointing etc... (Tried updating Roo version and updating dependencies that didn't work).. But there is also some sort of background daemon process for AJDT I'm wondering if that is pointing to an old Roo shell.

Tried deleting project from workspace and restarting.
I'm finding roo 1.1.0.M1 doesn't work with STS 2.5.0.M3
