The Windows binary version of R-1.6.2 is no longer available on CRAN.
Nevertheless, http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/ReadMe 
tells us:

"The packages
   SJava, XML, netCDF, and xgobi
do not build out of the box. Nevertheless these are available at
   http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin
kindly provided by Professor Brian D. Ripley."

So you *can* get a binary version of the SJava *package* for R-1.7.x.
