Beyond Scaffolding: A deeper dive into Spring Roo

In this session, we'll go beyond the Spring Roo basics and see what makes it tick. We'll learn how to guide Spring Roo with annotations, how to customize a Roo-generated application, and how to write a Spring Roo addon.

So...Spring Roo has just generated your project code. Now what? With the scaffolding in place, is it time to show Roo to the door? Is Roo only good for starting a new application, but has no role in the continuing development of that application?
