Trivial Description
= How to replicate =
When compiling roo from source code, the roo-dev script is found in bootstrap/ folder.
If one runs the roo-dev(.bat) file in that folder, you get the error shown below.
= Details =
The issue is related to ROO-644. The problem is that bootstrap/ is a maven project and when roo is being started in that folder, it reads the pom.xml found there and fails (because of ROO-163, but that's another issue).
My suggestion would be to move the roo-dev scripts to a non-maven folder, or at least update the readme.txt with information regarding this issue, as creating sym links is not possible in all Windows versions.
C:\roo-src\bootstrap>roo-dev
