R devel - Apr 2006 - using R in a java application

Dear All, 

I'd like to write a little application in java wich should pass some
commands and data to R and displays the results (tables and charts) in a java
frame. First I wanted to work with Omegahat's SJava but had lots of issues
already at the installation.

Then I heard some rumors that SJava generally is not a very active project and
runs rather buggy (that's true?). So my question is, are there alternatives
to use R in a Java application, like other libraries? What would you recommend
me? I appreciate any usefull links on that topic: Java and R.

Thank you in advance,
Lothar Rubusch

Hi,

Give Rserve a shot :

Thank you all for your answers!

I started with the link to Rserve and continued to read about the JRI interface.
The JRI sounds to me slightly simplier than RServe, perhaps I'll give both 
a try or would you recommend me rather to one of them?

Concerning RJava - well, I read that it is an interface for R applications, 
connecting only from R to Java (?). Thus I haven't read more about it.

Lothar
