R help - Jan 2009 - Calling a jar file with rJava

I want to call the jar file from R.  I want to be able to do this without
using system().  Normally a command line call would look like 

java -jar eps2pgf.jar -m directcopy myfile.eps

My question is: Can I call this program using the rJava package or any other
(command line options and all)?  I really know nothing about Java so any
pointers would be appreciated.  

Thanks

packages that uses rJava.  Some of them are:
