[R] editors for R

[Tobias Verbeke]

Hi Mark,

> After reviewing the IDE/Script Editors article at sciviews.org, I
> wanted to pose a quick question here to see if anyone can offer an
> opinion or commentary about GUI editors that can be installed in a
> Windoze environment that allow editing/saving of remote .R files and
> running R programs from within a shell that is "housed" in the editor
> (although R itself is installed in a Linux environment).  Windoze
> would essentially be providing a GUI-based tool to edit, save, and
> execute without making the user copy files back and forth and switch
> between various programs to execute their routines.

Eclipse + StatET; see

http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/statet-user/2009-September/000208.html

for information on the latest release. For remote connections, you need
to install RJ-Server (on the Linux machine) and configure a Remote R
Console (on the client).

There is a dedicated mailing list at

HTH,
Tobias
