how to get rJava 0.9-3 to work on OS X 10.7.4 with Oracle Java 1.7?
This works for me:
The situation is that my Java directories were not configured correctly.
1) First run: sudo R CMD javareconf . It should the following:
Java interpreter : /usr/bin/java
Java version : 1.7.0_40
Java home path : /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Java compiler : /usr/bin/javac
Java headers gen.: /usr/bin/javah
Java archive tool: /usr/bin/jar

Updating Java configuration in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
Done.
2) In R, run: install.packages("rJava",type='source') . Installation should returns DONE(rJava). Note that, I had to set
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home
when I need to start R as root: sudo R. To run as a normal user, use
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
It happened to me that I did not set the symbolic links of the above /usr/bin/java* to the corresponding in Java 1.7 (directed to version 1.6 instead) and got all the frustration from there. Links should be like this: (it looks like only java, javac, javah, and jar are required in R).
$ ls -l /usr/bin/ja*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 71 Oct 3 11:44 /usr/bin/jar -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jar

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 Oct 3 12:15 /usr/bin/javaws -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javaws
Finally, something worked!
Simon Urbanek : can you please put these instructions on the rJava website / cran install instructions...? This is the the first time I've been down this rabbit hole and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
