[R-gui] Seeking comments/testers for a new GUI

[Ian Fellows]

That was a stupid typo... fixed in dev

You said the "something" happens when you use .jpackage(pkgname). Does that
mean that you see the menu items and data viewer?

As for sources, I should have mentioned where to get them in the first
place. The package sources are available on rforge.net.

Package:
http://www.rforge.net/Deducer/svn.html
java sources:
http://www.rforge.net/org/svn.html

You can install the latest dev version with:
install.packages("Deducer",,"http://rforge.net/",type="source")

It should be noted that JGR is transitioning to a new backend (starting with
1.7), so Deducer in its works with the current CRAN version (1.6-7).

Hi,

Same problem with a fedora 10/R-devel/JGR 1.6-7.

I see this after loading the package within JGR which does not look good:

 > .deducer
[1] "Java-Object<null>"

Not easy to help more as you don't include the java code within the 
source package. I don't know what a "org/rosuda/deducer/Deducer" object 
is supposed to be.

If you wanted to include java code in the R package, you could follow 
these:

Apparently, the problem is in the .First.lib function, and something 
happens if I replace this line:

.jpackage(pkgname,"Deducer.jar")

by this line:

.jpackage(pkgname)

The deducer.jar file does not have a capital D when it is on my machine, 
so case sensitive operating systems have a problem with it.

Cheers,

Romain
