[R] Java related (?) problems with RWeka

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is a Java error inside Weka, so R-help is hardly an appropriate list.

RWeka supplies a version of Weka, and you already have one on your 
classpath.  I suspect a mismatch, so try not having Weka in your 
classpath.  (I would have expected the RWeka version to take precedence, 
but as I cannot run RWeka on this machine (the AMD64 version of rJava does 
not work enough), I cannot check.)
