Hi,

I am trying to configure Rbloomberg in my machine, but I am having some
problems.

Ana Nelson graciously provided some information information about
diferent test I should conduct to figure what the source of the problems
might be.  The final test we did points out to Rjava.

This is what I get when I run the following commands:

>  library(rJava)
>  x <- .jinit() 
Error in .jinit() : cannot obtain Class.getSimpleName method ID
> 


I was wondering if anyone has run into similar error, or if any one
could point out to where to check what might be going on.


This is the java version I have in my computer

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\jnieves>java -version
java version "1.5.0_15"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_15-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Documents and Settings\jnieves>



I am using rJava Version 0.8-7 

> library(RBloomberg)
> conn <- blpConnect()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 
rJava Version 0.8-7 
RBloomberg Version 0.4-144 
Error in .jinit() : unable to find the basic String class
Error in blpConnect.Java("warning", NULL, TRUE, NULL) : 
  Java environment not initialized. Please consult the rJava
documentation. You may need to upgrade or install Java.

Thanks for any insights.
