Could anyone tell me how to debug ROO please??

Have you published your public key using the command "gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --send-keys <your-key-id>". I'm not sure if this is absolutely necessary, but it won't hurt.

Is gpg executable on your path? Could you also try the other two ways to provide password of your key (as specified in readme.txt file, you can pass it as a parameter to Maven command line or in MAVEN_OPTS)?

Thanks Ilian.

I've published the key, but it doesn't work.

Which is the README.txt? I attach you the README.txt that I found in GPG folders, is that the right file?

[Ilian Iliev]

No, I meant the file readme.txt that comes with Roo source code (when you checkout Roo from Git repo, this file is in the root folder).

Excerpt from it:

Finally, every time you build you will be prompted for the password of
your key. You have three options:

* Type the password in every time
* Include a -Dgpg.passphrase=thephrase argument when calling "mvn"
* Edit ~/.bashrc and add -Dgpg.passphrase=thephrase to MAVEN_OPTS

Thank you so much Ilian,

I added -Dgpg.passphrase=thephrase to MAVEN_OPTS and this step worked.

Then, it fails in the next step

[INFO] Spring Roo - OSGi Start Level Control ............. FAILURE [1.328s]

.
The error that shows:

[ERROR] Error building bundle org.springframework.roo:org.springframework.roo.st artlevel:bundle:1.1.3.BUILD-SNAPSHOT : Error in processing included file: D:/...../target/build-number.mf

Did it happen to you?

[Ilian Iliev]

Seems you don't have Git executable on the path.

Check it by opening a new OS command console and executing 'git --version' (without quotes)

[r.rodriguez]

You're right Ilian, thanks indeed.

Sorry for the delay in the reply. I tried a breakpoint like you said, but the hang is before the help command gets executed. I poked around in the debugger, and the problem seems to be that the DBRE addon is hanging during startup. I dug into the stack, and found the FelixDispatchQueue thread is hanging trying to open a connection to db.apache.org. This can be traced all the way down to the DBRE addon trying to retrieve the DTD for the .roo-dbre file, http://db.apache.org/torque/dtd/database_3_3.dtd. I'm behind a corporate firewall, so this just hangs.

Apparently some magic happens in the Eclipse environment that makes this work, but I don't know how to get around this for debugging behind our firewall.

EDIT: setting http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort in roo-dev.bat seems to have gotten around the problem.

Just to eliminate some possibilities, could you:

• Try with a newer 1.1.3.BUILD-SNAPSHOT build.
• Attach with a debugger, set a breakpoint to 'help' command entry point and check whether the hang will happen after you reach this entry point or somewhere after it.
  The entry point for 'help' command is in project 'org.springframework.roo.shell.osgi', class 'SimpleParserComponent', method 'obtainHelp'.

If you reach the breakpoint in obtainHelp() method, then you can try to debug to to find where the hang happens by stepping-in the code.

This is a great post and the Ilian Iliev's response is terrific.

I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks a lot for the instructions, this information is missing in the official documentation or I wasn't able to find it.

Best regards
