Description
Create a multi-module spring roo project with at least one web mvc controller and import into STS.
The initial importation usually works but if the roo shell is closed and reopened the controller aspectj files get deleted.
An example roo script
project --packaging pom --topLevelPackage com.foo --projectName foo
|
module create --moduleName module1 --packaging jar --topLevelPackage com.foo --parent com.foo:foo:0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
|
module focus --moduleName ~
|
module create --moduleName module2 --packaging war --topLevelPackage com.foo --parent com.foo:foo:0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
|
web mvc setup
|
module focus --moduleName module1
|
jpa setup --database HYPERSONIC_IN_MEMORY --provider HIBERNATE
|
entity jpa --class MyEntity
|
field string --fieldName entityName
|
module focus --moduleName module2
|
web mvc all --package ~.mvc
|
The message in the roo shell as it destroys the controller:
roo> Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\foo\mvc\MyEntityController_Roo_Controller.aj - empty
|
Deleted SRC_MAIN_JAVA\com\foo\mvc\ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean_Roo_ConversionService.aj - empty

I don't think it's a problem of STS. If you open a Roo Shell within the web module directory, using the command line, it will also delete the .aj files.
Nonetheless, there is no problem if you open the Roo shell within the parent directory.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to open the Roo shell for the parent module in the STS (in spite that I have the parent project imported in the workspace)

I can get the same symptoms with the multimodule sample app in roo 1.2.1
Run the multimodule.roo script
Import the generated project into STS
and at some randomly chosen point STS will decide to delete the controller aspects
eg in this example it was triggered by selecting maven - update config

Without some sort of workaround for this STS is unusable for roo multimodule projects.
So far the only workaround I have found is to use use plain eclipse instead of STS for roo multimodule projects
