Hi,

STS comes bundled with a version 2.2.1 of Maven. What version of Maven does your colleague use?

You can configure any other version of Maven or use the default embedded version from the Maven preferences page at Preferences -> Maven -> Installations.

Let me know if that helps.

He also uses teh same version on maven. taht is 2.2.1

I figured out that maven version used by STS is 3.0. I think this was triggered by auto update.

Anyways i have stopped using roo in my projects and everything seems to work fine for now.

Thanks.
