Some Maven plugin such as APT needs a JDK instead of JRE at runtime.
Open Preference dialog, type JRE in the query text box to find the JRE you are using, change the JRE location to your JDK's location.
Also do not forget adjust the STS.ini, add -vm parameter, place it above the -vmargs. An example here.
-vm
D:/jdk7/bin/javaw.exe
...
-vmargs
...

Now you can follow the steps in last post and try to create a new Entity Conference in the Eclipse based Roo console.
Open the entity class Conference you have just created in the Roo console, try to add a new property name, and save it. Eclipse will synchronize the change set to the Roo related aspect files, you can some logging info in the Roo console.
Open Conference_Roo_JavaBean.aj in the same package, you will find the getter and setter of the name property are generated.
privileged aspect Conference_Roo_JavaBean {
    
    public String Conference.getName() {
        return this.name;
    }
    
    public void Conference.setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
It is magic.
Follow the steps in last post and add other artifacts yourself.
