Error staring the Roo shell

[qin]

I have $ROO_HOME\bin on my window Path.

This what I get when I type Roo on the cmd prompt

ERROR: Error starting file:/I:/spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE/bundle/org.springframework.roo.addon.backup-1.1.5.RELEASE.jar (org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unresolved constraint in bundle org.springframework.roo.addon.backup [7]: Unable to resolve 7.0: missing requirement [7.0] package; (&(package=org.springframework.roo.file.monitor.ev ent)(version>=1.1.0)(!(version>=2.0.0))) [caused by: Unable to resolve 39.0: missing requirement [39.0] package; (&(package=org.springframework.roo.support.ant)(ve rsion>=1.1.0)(!(version>=2.0.0))) [caused by: Unable to resolve 52.0: missing requirement [52.0] package; (package=javax.xml.namespace)]])

Ok, I figured out why.

Your java is using JRE, NOT JDK

Uninstall the Java, but not the Java SDK from your system.

Hello, I have one additional note to this issue.

Removing jre is not a wise solution, because another application may require jre to run properly. This was my case, as I am using Arch Linux and jdk, scala and vuze depends on jre package (therefore I cannot uninstall jre).
I have faced a similar issue and found very simple solution. According to this bug report the problem can be a new version of java (oracle jvm7), which is not supported by Apache Felix (v.3.0.7). I downloaded the newest version (3.2.2) and replaced the old one in ROO_HOME/bin folder. It works for me, so I hope it will help others who encounter this issue.

thank you!
This solution work to me too

Spring-roo version 1.1.5

i just download Felix Framework Distribution 4.0.1,
copy the felix.jar from FELIX_DIR\bin\ to spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE\bin

[scoutme]

did you remove the previous jar, or left it there?

I was having the same issue. Thanks for this info - this fix worked for me as well.

roo version 1.1.5
sts 2.8.1
maven 3.0.3

Here is a link to the felix downloads page for others who may be experiencing the same problem...
