[R] glmulti fails because of rJava

Dear R,

The glmulti package no longer loads through the library() command, apparently
because of a problem with rJava.
I have today reinstalled R from scratch (updated to v2.14.0) and reinstalled all
packages from scratch and updated them all too. The problem is the same as I
found on v2.13.2. See session below for the error. I tried
install.packages(rJava) as advised by the error report but it didn't help
(see session below).

Any advice would be much appreciated: I can now not use glmulti at all and I
can't see how to solve this!

Thank you very much R Help!
Best,
Toby
