Re: [science-iwg] KNIME and Eclipse 4.3M6

[Philip Wenig <philip.wenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,

you're right. The usage of Swing in KNIME is indeed a drawback. But I 
really admire in KNIME the R- and Matlab-Support as well as the rich 
reporting functionality.

@Erwin:
Is there a R-/Matlab-Support in Passerelle? If no, how hard is it to get 
it running?


Cheers,
Philip
