Spring Roo is a tool that provides rapid application development for Spring applications. It uses a shell-based approach where commands are entered to generate common code structures like controllers, services, and repositories. The shell can be integrated with Eclipse and Spring Tool Suite for development. Spring Roo aims to have no lock-in and dependencies. The document demonstrates Spring Roo by developing an online shop application to sell second-hand products.
