"Waiting for background work to complete" when Roo Shell open in STS

[cheng]

Thanks Andrew, Roo 1.1.4 seems to be working. I may consider to upgrade soon.

[Andrew Swan]

Excellent! Of course since I posted, we released 1.1.5, so you may want to upgrade to that instead.

I'll try to upgrade to 1.1.5 & STS 2.7.1 next week - and will post the results here

Same here with:
- STS 2.7.1
- roo version 1.2.0
- Windows seven

I have had problems with Spring Roo 1.1.5 of a very similar manner working with a web project of around 25 entities. Working on a quad core machine I would have one core maxed out perminantly and Roo would take ages to get into a 'working' state.

The solution I found was to alter the Spring Roo roo.bat file (or roo.sh) to increase the default Java heap space:

java -Xmx512m -Xmx1024m -Dflash.message.disabled=false ...

instead of

java -Dflash.message.disabled=false ...

Since making that change I have had very few problems with the shell.

Hope that helps, it was super frustrating for a while there, Chris
