R editor that will work with Rcmdr
Dear Michael, For what it's worth, I develop the Rcmdr under Eclipse, and it works fine with Eclipse -- both under Windows and under Mac OS X. Of the IDEs that I've used with R, I'm most impressed with Eclipse/StatET, but configuration is non-trivial and documentation is sparse. I have a little experience with the Rcmdr under Emacs (as opposed to XEmacs) on Windows, and that too seems to work. Regards, John

Hi John,
From my experience, while (X)Emacs + ESS or JGR work with Rcmdr under
Linux,
there can be problems using either of these in conjunction with Rcmdr
under
Windows. From John Fox's own 'An Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for Windows Users of R': "The Rcmdr package does not run reliably under XEmacs/ESS for Windows." On Windows XP at least, this still seems to be the case - for
me
it always ends up crashing R. Under Windows, Tinn-R and Notepad++ with NppToR (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npptor/) work fine alongside Rcmdr, but
both
of them are Windows only. Other IDEs such as Eclipse I haven't tested. Hope this is helpful, Michael Bibo Queensland Health
