If you try Roo, there are a few options: You can run it from the command line, or you can run it inside eclipse. I would recommend using the SpringSource Tool Suite as it has it already integrated, but there happens to be a bug with gwt in the Roo 1.4 release (roo version is not same as STS version). Install latest STS, then upgrade the Roo version to the latest snapshot release. The bug and procedure is described in this jira entry https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-2445 . I would also recommend starting from the command line at first to learn the commands and see what just roo alone does for you. It basically generates the project, database connection, all entities and their request factories, the MVP and Activities and Places framework. Scaffolding UI for all entities and a scaffolding application page. You can actually run the project and mess with all the data without writing a single line of code. You don't have to keep roo in the loop if you don't want after you have your scaffolding, but I find it handy to keep things in sync.
As Stevko say, roo can do a lot and generates a lot, and at first it can be overwhelming. But you only really need a small subset of what it can do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
