Dear Adrian
Apart from the Virtual R Workbench I've written, I am not aware of a
software/plugin that enables the use of R from jEdit (you have only
extensions for enabling R syntax highlighting). The workbench embeds a
patched version of jEdit as a view. I have added to the jEdit ToolBar
buttons for sourcing the script beeing edited to your R Server or to the
jython / Groovy interpreters available on client and on server sides.
The spreadsheet view has a similar feature + data import/export to R +
use of R functions in computed cells .
the workbench is available:
-as an applet :
http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/rworkbench_applet.html
-as a Java Web Start application :
http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/rworkbench.jnlp
-as a desktop application : java -jar biocep.jar
(http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/appletlibs/biocep.jar)
you've got a "Getting Started" for runnig and connecting to R Servers
here : http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/doc.html#Deliverables
you may also want to have a look the flollowing eclipse plugin :
http://www.walware.de/goto/statet
it will probably in the near future embed biocep-core to run and control
R Servers from eclipse.
Best wishes,
Karim
