No option to create Roo project is Spring Tool Suite (STS version 3.6.1)

Question

There seems to be no option in STS 3.6.1 to create a Roo app. While Googling I noticed this question for the same problem in version 3.5.0, and the sloution was to install Roo to STS manually as it is no longer included. Sweet, so I did that.

I installed it from the STS dashboard and after installation was complete and STS was re-started the dashboard shows this (so the installation was successful):

And lo and behold... still no option to creat a Spring Roo app!

So... how can I find the option to create a Spring Roo app from within Spring tool Suite?
