[R] New version of ecological modelling software available with improved R interface

[Bio7]

Dear R users,

again with the hope that this application can also be useful for some R
users,
i like to announce a new Windows version of the ecological modeling software
Bio7.

For information:

Bio7 uses a pure Rserve approach to interface Java and R and has a feature
rich GUI
to access and execute R methods from Java embedded in a Rich Client Platform
based on Eclipse.

In this release (1.4) a new R perspective is available with a spreadsheet
component and the R-Shell view to import, export data from Excel, OpenOffice
and CSV and to transfer them to a R workspace.
In addition new methods have been added to the R-Shell interface to transfer
data from and to the spreadsheet component.

Furthermore Bio7 1.4 embeds several tools for:

- Creation and analysis of spatial explicit simulation models.

- Image Analysis (embedded ImageJ). 
  Transfer of images to and from R is supported!

- Fast communication between R and Java (with RServe) and
   the possibilty to use R methods inside Java, BeanShell and Groovy.
- Interpretation of Java and script creation (with BeanShell).
- Direct dynamic compilation of Java (Janino).
- Creation of methods for Java, BeanShell, Groovy and R
   (integrated editors for Java, R, BeanShell+Groovy).
- Sensitivity analysis with an embedded flowchart editor in which
  scripts, macros and compiled code can be dragged and executed.
- Creation of 3d OpenGL (Jogl) models. Dynamic data visualization from R
possible.
- Visualizations and simulations on an embedded 3d globe
