Spring Roo 2.0.0M2 sample script home page & tomcat issues

I'm testing the sample script at Spring Roo 2.0.0M2 released. The script generates well, but when issueing mvn tomcat:run it breaks. In the end there is no local website.

How to solve this to get the project running?

Solution

  • Remember that Spring Roo 2.x generates Spring Boot applications. It includes some starters on your pom.xml file that provides you an embedded tomcat server. Also, your generated project includes the spring-boot-maven-plugin that allows you to run your application executing the following maven command:

    mvn clean compile spring-boot:run

    For more information about Spring Boot project read the official documentation

    Hope this helps,
