| Re: [science-iwg] Eclipse RCP and R-Integration |
Hello Philip, good examples are available in the Rserve <http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/> and JRI <http://www.rforge.net/rJava/> packages. I decided to use Rserve in the past because of its speed and its flexibility to connect my application with a local or remote instance (or several instances) of R for resource intensive calculation tasks. If you need a true REPL <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop> then JRI is the way to go. In Bio7 i did a lot to mimic a REPL with Rserve. Simply put the required *.jars and native libs on the System and Java classpath and your are ready to evaluate R scripts from within your application. Here are some notes and ImageJ examples which i put together for the last ImageJ conference and might be helpful. http://bio7.org/?page_id=1753 I should also mention one Java-R binding alternative http://www.mhsatman.com/rcaller.php (Transfer is based on streams) and an interesting project which is "a new JVM-based interpreter for the R" http://code.google.com/p/renjin/ For a Java Matlab integration have a look at the MIJ plugin <http://bigwww.epfl.ch/sage/soft/mij/> for ImageJ which could be a help to create a decent Matlab Java connection. Cheers, Marcel
