I recently heard a lot about ROO for "Real object-oriented".

What is all that about ? Where does it come from ?

Thx

+1  A: 

Roo seems more a methodology, a software engeenering stuff than a new technology.

It looks like a budding buzz word.

I would say, nice try for the Taxonomist badge with both roo and real-object-oriented tags.

Yes, I've already found that link but the description from Matt Raible isn't very clear for me...

Or clear for anyone else who has English as their native language.

ROO is a tool released by Spring Source this week: http://www.springsource.org/roo

From a brief investigation, my understanding it that you can generate Java applications dynamically using a mimimal set of configuration.

This is a very early alpha release of code. There's a blog entry that describes its capabilities is at http://stsmedia.net/introducing-spring-roo/

That doesn't look like it's referring to "real object-oriented" things.

Spring Roo is no longer an acronym for Real Object Oriented (ROO). We changed the case from ROO to Roo to reflect this change. Those interested in a history of the Spring Roo project are encouraged to read the History section of our reference guide, which covers this issue in more depth.
