Spring roo is not working

I am currently working on windows 7, 64 bits. I installed a clean version of sts 2.7.2 with spring roo and at first everything was working flawlesly. Later, I tried to install the standalone version of spring roo 1.1.5. As soon as I typed roo I started getting the following stack trace:

I tried to search for this but couldn't find anything, so I install the 1.2.0M1 version however I got the same problem. After a while, I gave up and tried to keep working with the roo shell that lives within the ide that was working before. Nevertheless, my ide didn't seem to work anymore. When I try to execute any command on an existing roo project or try to create a new project just hangs forever. In order to fix it, I tried to delete sts, install it again, restart my pc, clean the registry, install a different version like 1.7.1, change my jdk from 1.6_22 to 1.6_27 but I always got the same issue now.

I have read quite a lot on spring roo and was really looking forwards to starting using it however I run out of ideas.

Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I found the solution, I was hit by STS-1931. Removing the ~/.spring_roo_pgp.bpg cleared the problem.
