This works fine, thank you. Please, is it possible to modify the
position where the new path will be inserted in $PATH? It is added at
the end of the string by default. I would like to insert in at the
beginning.

This makes sense. Thanks for the tip. What I am not able to work out now
is to know how and why R.app is picking up this valeu for PATH...

I am not able to figure out where am I setting this value for PATH. M2,
M2_HOME and MAVEN_OPTS, the variable I've been dealing with, are not set
in the shell...
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $M2
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $M2_HOME
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $MAVEN_OPTS
But all three are set in R!

"$M2:$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
> Sys.getenv("M2")
M2
"/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9/bin"
> Sys.getenv("M2_HOME")
M2_HOME
"/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9"
> Sys.getenv("MAVEN_OPTS")
MAVEN_OPTS
"-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
.Rprofile works fine and I am able to control variables with this file
but, I there is not .Rprofile, where could am I be setting these
variables? Does .RData store these values?
I would like to understand where am I wrong. Thanks for your help!
