Despite all I've read, I still can't figure out what Spring Roo actually is, and that's after reading the first chapter of Spring Roo In Action, What is Spring Roo?! I understand the motivation for simplifying the process of developing a Spring application, but what does Spring Roo actually do?

Can someone summarize the contents of that first chapter, specifically how Spring Roo reduces the complexity of developing a Spring app? The authors will probably see this, so do a good job!
