I don’t know the exact issues, but I’ve used a package called XLConnect with no problem.

Today, I attempted to use that package, the first time since I upgraded to Yosemite. R responded to: library(“xlsx”) with No Java runtime present, requesting install. A popup then said “you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime” I updated all my packages, then I tried: library(“rJava”) The outcome is the same. I installed Java (Java 8 Update 40), then tried again. Same problem. I can confirm that Java is installed: PET633> java -version java version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b27) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode) It appears that the rJava wants an old version of java — however, I can’t find that version at the Oracle website. For curiosity, I tried to install Java SE 7 — the installer would not allow this once it found the newer version (8). This suggests that installing version 6 will also not be permitted. Any thoughts?
