I am using 1.0.0.M2 - this worked:

addon install --url http://www.springsurf.org/downloads/...-roo-addon.zip


In your project at the roo prompt:

roo> surf install

Yes. Spring has fixed that issue.

I have updated the tutorial for that as well.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have just downloaded this package :http://download.springsource.com/mil....5.2-win32.zip

But none of the commands like "Install" or "addon" is available in ROO.

I also tried to install the eclipse template for spring surf, no luck there either ? Is the new STS3.3 extendable for surf ?

STS3.3 home contains the following :
roo-1.1.0.M1 --- 1.1.0.M1 [rev 3a0b8a3]
sts-2.3.3.M1
maven-2.2.1.RELEASE
tc-server-developer-2.0.0.SR01

Did you get any answer on this??

The documentation definitely says to run the addon command but that doesnt exist in Roo is it a new version or sthg. Have things changed?

Hi davidhay,

I posted 10 days ago but still no reply. I wish I knew who to contact directly But I join 2 weeks ago after seeing vmForce video about spring. And Since I do Alfresco aswell I thought it might be a good Idea to check out spring surf... but alas I failed miserable

With the milestone release of Spring Roo 1.1.0.M1 (which is shipped with the milestone release of STS 2.3.3.M1) we have switched the addon infrastructure to use OSGi internally. This allows us to make the discovery, installation and management of addons by developers a whole new experience. Keep in mind that the milestone releases are not meant to be the final version of Roo 1.1, so some rough edges may be possible at times.

The Roo 1.1.0.M2 release is just around the door and that will offer a much improved addon experience. Currently we use the 'osgi' commands to install and manage addons but this may be improved as we move towards a final release of Spring Roo 1.1.

If you are looking to use the Surf addon I would recommend you use the latest GA release of Roo 1.0 and use the install commands as per documentation. It appears the surf addon is currently only compatible with Roo 1.0. I expect that the surf addon will be updated to work with the new addon infrastructure provided in Roo 1.1 once we reach the release candidate phase.

I hope this answers your questions.

Cheers,
Stefan

Is there an updated ETA on getting this addon working with the latest roo? Or maybe a work around? I've just installed STS 2.5.2, and have had issues getting 1.0 version of roo working with it.

Thanks in advance

can you check out the trunk? The latest check in should let you build a Surf addon that works with Roo 1.1 (OSGI).

Thanks, I'll attempt that.
