Confused documentation about JRI and rJava #330

Closed softboy99 closed 3 months ago

softboy99 commented 3 months ago

On JRI page, It saids that "JRI is now part of rJava, so if you simply want to use JRI, install rJava binary and your'e all set! There will be no further stand-alone JRI releases, JRI is now released only as a part of rJava".

Howerver, On rJava Page, it saids that "If you want to run R within a Java application, please see the JRI pages for details. rJava allows you to use R code to create Java objects, call Java methods and pass data between R and Java."

I want to run simple R script within a Java application, what i should do. Use old JRI or new RJava?

You can do either. However, if you are not familiar with R or Java then I recommend using rJava CRAN binary as that already has everything compiled and ready to use.
