I am really no java lover, but for some reason had interested to look at an R package that depends on rJava... and when I tried, I was *again* (it is my usual experience for more than 10 years) unable to get rJava installed, as indeed, also 'R CMD javareconf' ended in an error that jni.h was not found.
I see the issue here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16438073/unable-to-install-rjava-in-r-3-0-in-ubuntu-13-04 including the proposed solution sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-* which installs 690 MB (!) of stuff (not counting the "basic openjdk-7" installed previously)... ... and indeed solves the problem {i.e. 'R CMD javareconf' then succeeds}. --- Summary: I think r-cran-rjava needs the full (or at least more than now of) 'openjdk-7-*' in its (debian) dependencies.
