Error when using rtest.java example that comes with JRI

33 Views Asked by At

I'm currently trying to make a Java program that takes inputted data and visualizes it using R. I set up JRI, and I'm using Eclipse. I read the README for JRI, which I'll link below so my question isn't too long.

https://github.com/s-u/rJava/blob/master/jri/README

I got everything to work with the actual JRI setup by using the "Run Configurations" and "Configure Build Path" buttons in Eclipse. So I'm able to do simple R calculations, but that's not what I need. I need to be able to output graphs, tables, etc. using R in Java.

So I copied the "rtest.java" file from the "examples" folder in JRI to Eclipse. I'll add the code below.

import java.io.*;

        System.out.println("rBusy("+which+")");

        System.out.print(prompt);

            String s=br.readLine();
            return (s==null||s.length()==0)?s:s+"\n";
        } catch (Exception e) {

(Please let me know if the formatting of that code is difficult to read. I'm very new to Stack Overflow!)

When I run "rtest.java" using the correct run configurations, I get the following error:

Error: Unable to initialize main class rtest
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/rosuda/JRI/RMainLoopCallbacks

I'm not quite sure what to do because I didn't personally write "rtest.java", so I don't know how I could've messed it up. Please let me know if you can figure out how to run this code properly. It's probably a really easy fix that I just don't know about because I'm a beginner.

If you have any ideas, please try to explain them as thoroughly as possible. Thank you so much for your time!
