I've spent the last day investigating Spring Roo, which looks really good. I've never been a big fan of code generators, but since it follows best practices and you can fold-in its generated code into the main classes at anytime - something i've yet to try - it seems less of a risky option.
As someone who's spent way to much of my life mashing various frameworks together - sometimes giving up out of shear frustration with certain combinations - Spring Roo is going to come in very handy.
It hasn't been all plain sailing tho, there have been a few issues to do with dependencies and odd issues with some of the generated bits, but thanks to a quick google search i've sorted most of my problems.
All in all though, its a very impressive tool, and if you haven't yet tried it, and you work with Java/Spring/Hibernate etc - its really worth a look.
