Yes, the latest I tried of these, openjdk7-macppc-fcs-fd- 
atomic-2011-09-12 does not work at all with Roo 1.2. See crash log:http://pastebin.com/xH3raY6V
It works however with Roo version 1.1.5 and as late as with Roo1.2m1  
(which is more or less the latest jdk1.5 compatible version).  I'm not  
sure what the differences are really except that Roo versions around  
1.2RC1 has jdk1.6 as minimum and 1.1.5 up to 1.2M1 have jdk 1.5 as a  
minimum. Which is why I now need openjdk or later for it now when  
Apples ppc jdk doesn't work anymore

I don't think Spring Roo uses any JNA as it's a terminal only  
application. I'd love to be able to run Springsource Tol Suite on  
openjdk6 or 7, but I'd settle for Spring Roo 1.2RC1 for now.
