ROO Annotations with SpringSource Tool Suite

Question

How can I use/enable ROO annotations (I beleive it's using AspectJ?) inside a STS project?

For example, I want to use : @RooJavaBean for generating the getter/setter methods automagically.

(Maven is also "installed" in the project)

Answer 1

You need to create a Roo project and these annotations are handled for you automatically. You can do this through the New Roo project wizard:

File -> New... -> Spring Roo Project

Answer 2

You have to use the ROO shell for this and just follow the hints.

For example, to create a java bean with ROO annotations:

roo> entity --class ~.User --testAutomatically
roo> field string --fieldName name --notNull
