Upgrading to the latest version of Roo
Roo simplifies upgrading from a previous version of your project to the latest version. All you need to do is to start the Roo shell from the root directory of your Roo project. Roo makes the adjustments to AspectJ ITD files that are applicable to the version.
In this recipe, we'll look at a Roo project that was created on version 1.1.3 and now being upgraded to 1.1.5.
Getting ready
