<p> <b>Spring Roo</b> combines the power of the Spring framework, magic of annotations, and awesomeness of AspectJ to provide unimaginable productivity for building enterprise applications. This open source project provides Java programmers a real choice in creating applications quickly without compromising on performance, while enjoying goodies that come with statically typed languages--code completion, immediate feedback on errors, and robust refactoring. Spring Roo does all this without the locking-in that you would typically expect from such a productive solution. </p> <p> In this presentation, we will create an application from scratch. We will pick a domain suggested by attendees and develop JSP- and GWT-based front end, JPA-based persistence, security, automated tests, and so on. We will do all this and still have time left to show how it all works. Come to this presentation as a skeptic and leave as a believer! </p>
