Installing an installable add-on
An add-on that is not part of the Spring Roo distribution is referred to as an installable add-on. So, any add-on that is not a base add-on is an installable add-on. In this recipe, we'll look at how to install an installable add-on and the challenges that you'll face in doing so.
Getting ready
Refer to the Setting up GnuPG for add-on development recipe to set up GnuPG on your system.
Create a new directory C:\roo-cookbook\ch07-service in your system and start the Roo shell from the ch07-service directory.
Executing the ch07_jpa_setup.roo script creates a flight-app Roo project, sets up Hibernate as a persistence provider, and configures MySQL as the database for the application. If you are using a different database than MySQL or your connection settings are different from what is specified in the script, then modify the script accordingly.
