I have searched all over for somebody else with this issue and found nothing...so hopefully I can get this solved here.
I got one of the sample apps to work, but it didnt use the web mvc, so it has to do with whatever that sets up.
I have downloaded Roo (spring-roo-1.2.0.RELEASE) and Maven (apache-maven-2.2.1) and set up paths per install instructions.
I can get Roo to run just fine, but after finishing the steps:
mkdir hello
cd hello
roo
roo> hint
roo> project --topLevelPackage com.foo
roo> jpa setup --provider HIBERNATE --database HYPERSONIC_IN_MEMORY
roo> entity jpa --class ~.Timer --testAutomatically
roo> field string --fieldName message --notNull
roo> hint web mvc
roo> web mvc setup
roo> web mvc all --package ~.web
roo> selenium test --controller ~.web.TimerController
roo> web gwt setup
roo> perform tests
roo> quit
When I try to run app using mvn jetty:run I get the following (I get same using tomcat):
[INFO] Starting jetty 8.0.1.v20110908 ...

It appears that you have tried to use both GWT and Spring MVC Controllers for your web application.
Use only one, and it would work.
Cheers and all the best with Roo. :)
