java version error

[nkandrian]

Hi there,

I am trying to attach qdap after installing it with

install.packages("qdap")

but get the following error message:

> library(qdap)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘qdap’:
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'xlsx', details:
  call: fun(libname, pkgname)
  error: Your java version is 14.  Need 1.5.0 or higher.`

Since 14 is clearly higher than 1.5.0, I do not understand how to resolve this. Note that I had issues getting rJava to run end ended up re-installing Java using this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44632292/how-to-install-specific-java-version-using-homebrew

My session info is:

I checked the similar issues extensively but have not come across this one. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Just realized, this is the wrong place for this issue since it's related to the xlsx package. For others having the same error: https://github.com/colearendt/xlsx/issues/156
