[R] Problems with xlsx and rjava

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

I cannot answer directly to your question, but I had problems with 
package xlsx and for what I've seen on R-Help so had others. Maybe you 
are using the wrong architecture of R (32/64 bits).
Package XLConnect is more flexible and a bit more complex, but it comes 
with a vignette that explains how to use it.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
