Spring Roo Rocks
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Spring Roo is a code generation tool for Spring web applications. It is the fastest way I’ve ever seen to get an enterprise “best-practice” java webapp up and running.
It differs from other productivity tools by focusing on:
* Rapid results
* 100% develop in Java
* Easy-to-use
* Fast and simple to remove
* Totally compromise free
* Active, helpful community
* Comprehensive technology integrations
* Extension points via Roo add-ons
* SpringSource-certified architecture
Now Spring Roo is now outputting GWT app code so you have a full MVC and GWT app ready to go.
Here’s why it’s Killer…
With its knowledge of the domain model, Spring Roo is a match made in heaven for GWT. With today’s integration Spring Roo can generate and round trip GWT interfaces, making developers far more productive throughout the application lifecycle; and support easy deployment to App Engine from within the Roo shell.
Additionally they announced nice integration with Google App Engine so your Spring app can run on Google’s Cloud.
