Note that there are also quite a few addon GUIs that various people have
created for R, as well. See
http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/
where they are listed down the left hand side of the page. JGR, and possibly
several others on the list, are written in Java. R can also be accessed
directly online at:
http://www.math.montana.edu/Rweb/
and other sites.
