I don't have much experience with groovy and grails but I like the way you can create controllers etc. in grails on command line. I was looking at spring roo but it looks to me that it is easier to create lets say entity, controller etc. then learning/remembering all the command line arguments. In other words, Roo has too many options and seems to be quite steep learning curve (as I said, I'm not grails neither roo experiences user, but grails seems to be easier/better)
What is your (unbiased) opinion?

There are so many framework and it seems like all are good.
Is there any place where I can see some comparison that, which framework is good for what type of Project?

Hi Pete,

First of all, you don't need to remember Spring Roo commands and arguments. The Chapter 1 of Spring Roo 1.1 Cookbook which is available for free shows how you can use TAB-based auto-completion feature of Spring Roo to discover the commands and it's arguments. I don't see that there is a steep learning curve in Spring Roo. All you need is some understanding of AspectJ ITDs, good understanding of Spring and how Maven plugins are used. I have used Spring Roo over a period of one year now, and I'm quite happy with it.

In my opinion, most developers think of a RAD tool as a GUI based drag and drop application. After using Spring Roo for a while, you'll realize that it is very user friendly tool and may be using command-line driven shell is better than using a GUI based application
