	The only valuable choice to integrate java and R is rserve.

	With RSjava,  data don't persist between 2 two commands, so you can't set a 
variable in R from java in one instruction and re-use this data in the next 
instruction.

	Rserve is an client/server library, client is pure java (you can easily 
deploy it  on *nix and Windows) and each connection has its own object space 
in R (only under *nix).
