Frustrating issue for newbie - src directories missing

[radder5]

Hi,
Just trying to get into Roo as it looks really neat, however trying to follow very simple tutorial with the shell but when I try I get the following output.

project --topLevelPackage com.tenminutes

Created ROOT/pom.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/log4j.properties
Created SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT
Created SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT/applicationContext.xml

I was expecting to get

roo> project --topLevelPackage com.tenminutes
Created /home/balex/ten-minutes/pom.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES
Created SRC_TEST_JAVA
Created SRC_TEST_RESOURCES
Created SRC_MAIN_WEBAPP
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml

what am I doing wrong where I don't get the java, text and webapp directories created?

I am running Arch Linux 64 with sun java 1.6 (removed openjdk as I thought that was the issue), maven 2.2.1 so I think I have all the dependencies.
No errors are shown when starting the shell and I get the same problem if trying this through the Eclipse (v3.7) new roo project wizard.

Help!

Thanks
Conrad

I think this folders are created when your command need to create files there:
By example:

* src/main/java: entity jpa ...
* src/test/java: test ...
* src/main/webapp: web mvc scaffold ...

Hi,
you're absolutely correct. Appropriate directories created when needed i.e. when the next steps are taken - entity creation, test creation etc.
All tutorials out there don't seem to reflect this, perhaps this is something that is only true in later versions of Roo. Not important really, just when following tutorials I like to know cause and effect, particularly when starting off with something new.
Thanks though, at least I can start exploring...

Conrad,

Yep, you're right. In the Roo in Action quick start chapter (2) I dive right in and create an entity right after creating the project, so the SRC_MAIN_JAVA et al directories get created for me. It would be good to have a note in there somewhere about the fact that the directories are created as-needed.

I'll put that on my next pBook revision list.

if I'm in a hurry and just want the spring infrastructure, I may just create a class with

roo> class --class ~.Demo

and then delete it...

or mkdir -p src/test/java/...package structure...

Ken,
Thanks for the confirmation. I have run through the tutorial now too and was extremely easy to follow and all went according to instructions. I'm new to Spring too so that is something else to work on although dependency injection isn't completely new as have done some Seam with Hibernate.
Thanks again
Conrad
