[R] differents behaviour of packages depending on rJava under32 and 64 bit versions of R 2.14.2

[Olivier Eterradossi]

Thank you Prof.,
As always, simple things need to thing carefully  :-(
I have missed that point, and also the existence of rJava forums.
ATB, Olivier

enough !) :

64-bit rJava needs 64-bit Java: 32-bit rJava needs 32-bit Java.  You can
install both on the same machine, and there are different registries
presented to 32- and 64-bit programs, so only the correct one will be seen
(if they are installed correctly).

In any case, rJava has its own help forums, so it you need further help, ask
there (and the maintainer does not read R-help routinely).
