Spring Roo 1.1.2 Released

[Alan Stewart]

We're pleased to announce the release of Spring Roo 1.1.2 (download here). Spring Roo is a rapid application development tool for Java, allowing you to create full enterprise applications in just minutes.

This new release contains over 200 enhancements, new features and fixes since the 1.1.1 release last month. Some of the highlights include:

• Tool usability: We've made Roo 1.1.2 offer improved add-on installation in corporate environments, proxy server support and faster downloads of Roo add-on lists.
• Persistence enhancements: There have been many individual improvements to persistence, such as better GWT support, nicer column mappings and extra JSR 303 support.
• Spring MVC improvements: There are many improvements for those of you building MVC applications. A small selection includes enhanced templates, additional internationalisation, YouTube embedding improvement, and more flexible CSS support.
• GWT: The most important improvement to GWT support in Roo 1.1.2 is compatibility with GWT 2.2. We've also boosted performance of the "gwt setup" command.
• Library upgrades: Your projects can now use the latest versions of Spring Security, Hibernate, JUnit, FlexJson, and AspectJ.

As always, we've produced upgrade notes to help you move to this new version. These notes and the reference guide are also included in the download ZIP file.

If you have any questions on this new release, please feel free to ask the Spring Roo engineering team on the community forum. We're also available on Twitter - just include #SpringRoo in your tweets.

We hope you enjoy this new release.

Congratulations and thanks

Version: 2.5.2.RELEASE
Build Id: 201101081000

Mac OS 10.6

Preferences Spring Roo Support identifies the selected release as
1.1.2.RELEASE [rev fbc33bb]

Yet when I open an existing project, having followed the directions in Upgrading To Any New Release

and try to open a Roo shell from within STS the claim is
No valid Spring Roo installation configured. This occurs whether I check the new Roo release or the 1.1.1.RELEASE

Another item of potential interest - when I open the existing Spring Roo project and then click on the Open Roo Shell for Project, instead
of there being the displayed in the pop-up window, there is a blank to the right of the empty check box.

Ideas?

Thanks!

To Solve this problem you have to right click on the project name in package explorer and select properties. Then expand Spring >Roo Support. Ensure that under "Roo Installation:" you select the correct installation from the drop down box.

Tried that multiple times. Ultimately I had to remove the installation and reinstall. That solved the problem.

Thanks!
