What are your first impressions of 1.2.0.Release

[MiB]

How is Roo 1.2.0.Release working for you?

Have you noticed anything between earlier versions, especially between 1.2.M1 and the 1.2 release regarding code generation and workability? Are you pleased with the possibilities and the development patterns that using Roo suggests? Or are you using only parts, building the rest on your own?

Personally I couldn't get 1.2.0.Release working in practice, as opposed to 1.2M1, as I couldn't get a build-able project to open properly in STS 2.9. So I'm back to Roo1.2M1, but then my openjdk7 version is not official and could have influenced things to not behave as designed.

During the use of Roo1.2M1 I have also discovered the need to backup everything, including ITD-files and project settings as both M1 and the release would sometimes stop responding for seemingly no good reason and the only way back was to either have a full backup in the repository or remake the project with a script file (which is still a lot of work as typically I had made many more developments, that needed transfer by hand).

Are you using Roo with STS as the IDE or where are you using it?

Please do tell of your experiences with Roo 1.2.0.Release and later!
