I am new to the spring Roo. We are using spring Roo 1.3.1 in our project. I have roo aspect files like roo_javabean.aj(for setters and getters) and roo_jpaEntity.aj in my porject when i check out my project from svn. I was told whenever we add a new property to domain object we need to run roo command on the porject location in command line.
So i downloaded roo 2.0.0.M3 version as i couldn't find 1.3.1 release online. I added one property in my domain object and ran roo command on my command line hoping roo would update the roo_javabean.aj file with setters and getters of the new property variable(@Transient public Date oneTest;) i added, but roo is deleting my existing aspect files for my domain object. please see the below

If you continue with the execution your project might suffer some changes. Do you want to continue opening Spring Roo Shell?(YES/No)yes---->if i say yes it is deleting the present files.
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\vik\pro\domain\reference\example_Roo_Jpa_Entity.aj - not require r governor com.vik.pro.domain.reference.example
I am not sure why, is it because i am using roo 2.0 and my project pom.xml is defined as 1.3.1.
Is there any i can download 1.3.1 release because all I can find is 1.2.5, 1.3.2 and 2.0.0 in spring website.
There're a big number of differences between Spring Roo 2.x and 1.x versions to be able to maintain the backward compatibility between them.
The following message appears when you use a different version of Spring Roo in a Spring Roo generated project.
WARNING: You are using Spring Roo 2.0.0.M3, but project was generated using Spring Roo 1.3.1.RELEASE . If you continue with the execution your project might suffer some changes. Do you want to continue opening Spring Roo Shell?(YES/No)
That confirmation message is really useful to prevent undesired changes in your project.
If you have just started to create your project, I recommed you that use Spring Roo 2.x version. It introduces the last Spring technologies (Spring IO, Spring Boot, Spring Data, etc.) in your project and generates a more flexible architecture (domain layer, repository layer, service layer and web layer with separated controllers and views)
However, you could download the Spring Roo 1.3.1 version from here
Hope it helps,
