I won't recommend using Spring Roo to learn Spring. You can use Spring Roo to learn about Spring Web MVC, JPA, GWT, Flex, and other technologies or frameworks for which an add-on exists, but not the core Spring features. You should refer to some tutorials and create a few simple examples using Spring before jumping onto Spring Roo development tool.

If you are planning to use GWT, then I think it'd be a good idea to use Spring Roo to learn MVP architecture, GIN, deferred-binding, and so on.
