| I would like to enquire about package r-cran-rjava on Debian jesse. It seems
that if default-jre package is not installed, but openjdk-7-jre is installed,
then library(rJava) in R fails. I’ve been bitten by this today and I wonder
whether this an issue of mine, or is this a possible bug.

| My server admin used apt-get update and apt-get upgrade today and R started
throwing an error that it cannot find libjvm.so, when trying to do
library(rJava). At first I thought that this is a problem of setting JAVA_HOME,
and setting it to JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 before starting R
seemed to solve the problem. But this setting was ignored by shiny-server, so I
spent some time figuring out how to force shiny-server to respect it. Only
after repeated failure I’ve noticed that LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Sys.getenv() points
to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/server and there was no directory
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/ in the system. Then I found out that this library is
provided by default-jre and when it was installed everything start to work.
Then I investigated further and found that this package is only optional for
r-cran-rjava. Hence the question.

You have the 'jre', you may need the 'jdk' for the compiler.
I think the Depends: we have is good enough for running Java based R
packages. At least it used to be...
