It went quite well producing a runnable version of Spring Roo after I hacked around a problem. Unfortunately this problem with what I believe to be a crash when using the String class occured. At least the test for one important Spring Roo class crashes in String when attempting to turn a String buffer with the chars in "[DefaultMetadataService@1b6d56]" to a String with the toString method. I will post the details later for the code that causes the crash.
The generated VM error message says: "fatal error: caught unhandled signal 10 at address 0x8". Complete VM error log at <http://pastebin.com/phZ98wZw >. Any ideas? Konstantin, is your source for this openjdk7 version available in some form? It would be interesting to make a version on my machine. Can I help in some way to find out if this compile problem is because of openjdk or something else? I must say the results are promising at least. you have done a very good job with this version. Thank you! /MiB
