java.lang.IllegalStateException with new service addon (Roo 1.2.0.M1)

[bundles]

I've been playing around with Roo 1.2.0.M1 as I'm hoping to use the new service addon to generate a service layer based on a decent sized database - big enough that I was hoping not to run the service command for every entity anyway. The problem is when I run the command without the entity (using the '*' as default) I get the following exception message:


roo> service --interface ~.service.TestService
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to convert '*' to type JavaType for option 'entity'
Unknown type; please indicate the type as a command option (ie --xxxx)


I understand this is still a milestone release, but will the service layer support multiple entities?

I'd also would like to know this. I fail to see the use of a service that only deals with one entity. Why, if I need that I can work with my entity directly.

I am also getting this error with 1.2.0 GA Release. Please let us know when this is resolved, Thanks!

Same for me:

On Roo 1.2.1.RELEASE [rev 6eae723]
