[R] How do I use simple calls to java methods?

[Jeff Newmiller]

I don't use rJava, but numerous examples came up when I Googled for "rjava examples". The fact that you have not referenced any of that material may be leaving a bad taste in the mouths of those few people who do use both R and Java. Or, they may just not spend time wading through emails on this list.

Also, note that Nabble has a poor reputation on this list, because it encourages you to look at Nabble for message history rather than including it in the email. Please re-read the Posting Guide for this list.
