Github user bzz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/208#issuecomment-188252250 Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong but current R interpreter implementation, in order to be compiled, requires R installed on user's machine AND it is included in the default build (at least right now) - that would result in build failing for every user of Zeppelin out there after pulling the change. I think what we may do, without breaking Zeppelin build for all the users, is simply exclude R interpreter build from default build cycle of `mvn package` and put it under profile, i.e `-P r` as we do with scalding, pyspark and other interpreters \w external dependencies . This way those who do not need R support will not be affected, at the same time those who do - will be able to get it. What do you guy think? Then I could update CI to use this profile as well.
