DBRE : Changing package of reverse engineering

[benp]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the target package of the reverse engineering command once it has been called once ?
It looks like once it has been issued with one package, it ignores all subsequent package options.

Reproducing steps :

roo> database reverse engineer --schema test-error --package ~.domain
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\dbre.xml
Updated ROOT\pom.xml
Updated SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\persistence.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK.java
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment.java
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Json.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Serializable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Configurable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Identifier.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Configurable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Jpa_ActiveRecord.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_ToString.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Jpa_Entity.aj

I then delete all entity java files by hand. Roo picks it up and delete all corresponding files :

Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_ToString.aj - TableWithComment.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Jpa_Entity.aj - TableWithComment.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Jpa_ActiveRecord.aj - TableWithComment.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Configurable.aj - TableWithComment.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Serializable.aj - TableWithCommentPK.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Json.aj - TableWithCommentPK.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Identifier.aj - TableWithCommentPK.java not found
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Configurable.aj - TableWithCommentPK.java not found

Then if I reverse to another package, files are not created in the proper package :

roo> database reverse engineer --schema test-error --package ~.other.domain
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\dbre.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK.java
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment.java
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Json.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Serializable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Configurable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithCommentPK_Roo_Identifier.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_Configurable.aj
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\company\app\domain\TableWithComment_Roo_ToString.aj

Am I missing something here ?

Thanks !

Existing entities will not change locations, however if new tables are added, these will be put into the subsequent --package you specify.

Thanks for answering me !

The thing is : I just deleted the said entities so to me roo should not consider them as "existing"...

So if I made a mistake in the package, or just want to refactor the entities package, I have no other solution than recreating a new project with the new packaging policy ? That's what I actually had to do for a project.

As a more general question, does roo hold/store some information somewhere else than in the actual java/aj file ?

thanks
