(PR#2003) bug in SJava
There is no function `getHome' in the R sources. There is a function getRHOME(), but that is not part of the documented interface (front-ends/readme). If SJava is calling getRHOME, it needs to be modified to just use the documented interface. getRHOME has not been modified since 1999, BTW.

"GetModuleFileName()" doesn't check the R_HOME environment setting, instead it returns the path of the .EXE, that started R, which is usually located in $R_HOME/bin. If R is invoked via Java, "GetModuleFileName()" returns $JDK_HOME/jre/bin instead of $R_HOME/bin and the function "getRHome()" returns $JDK_HOME/jre... My suggestion is just to rely on $R_HOME, instead of using "GetModuleFileName()", because all "xxx calls R" packages will have similar problems. I added in my sample fix the check for $RHOME, since SJava does the same, may be this is historical, just ignore it... Heinz Grimm
