Roo shell not always running command

[Fawn]

Hey guys,

I'm using the 1.2.0.M1 version of Spring Roo in combination with the SpringSource Tool Suite.

In this version the shell does not always respond to your commands. Is that a known issue in the Roo shell?

For example:

roo> jpa setup --database H2_IN_MEMORY --provider HIBERNATE 
roo> jpa setup --database H2_IN_MEMORY --provider HIBERNATE 
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring\database.properties
Updated ROOT\pom.xml [added dependencies com.h2database:h2:1.3.160, org.hibernate:hibernate-core:3.6.7.Final, org.hibernate:hibernate-entitymanager:3.6.7.Final, org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.0-api:1.0.1.Final, org.hibernate:hibernate-validator:4.2.0.Final, javax.validation:validation-api:1.0.0.GA, cglib:cglib-nodep:2.2.2, javax.transaction:jta:1.1, org.springframework:spring-jdbc:${spring.version}, org.springframework:spring-orm:${spring.version}, commons-pool:commons-pool:1.5.4, commons-dbcp:commons-dbcp:1.3; added repository https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases]
Updated SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring\applicationContext.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\persistence.xml

As you can see the first time I executed this command it did not respond. The prompt appeared again, so I assumed the Roo Shell was ready. Should I wait longer or is it just the shell?

I think i maybe seeing the same issue with 1.1.5, as you can see below, same commands sometime produce no output, sometime does! Weird.

I can confirm that this issue only gets worse in the 1.2.0 RC1.
The roo shell is pretty unresponsive and sluggish.

I'm also having problems with the shell reacting to input. this is on a clean STS 2.8.1 and Roo 1.2.0.RC1 with a new Roo project. After having set up persistence, I tried:

roo> entity jpa --class ~.domain.Person

Did this a few times in a row and got no response - no error or anything.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Thanks

I filed an STS bug on this https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2294

In the meantime, try running Roo outside STS
