R editor that will work with Rcmdr

Daniel, thank you very much for this posting!I felt similar "inspiration" as
you called it, to giving eclipse a try, but felt like giving it some more
time to sink before taking the plunge.
I am vary happy for your detailed document you published, for when I will
take my own leap into the system.

Best regards,
Tal

Thanks for posting this.  I've never used Eclipse before but this
document inspired me to give it a try.  Unfortunately, it's a little
out of date, but I think that I finally got it to work.  In case
anyone else would like to try this, I put a PDF of my notes online at:

Hi,

I also use R under Eclipse/StatET. I found the following doc really
useful:

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

I would like a suggestion for an editor that will help format my R

code

that
can be used with Rcmdr. Is there

anything I need to know about running or installing an editor when

using

Rcmdr? I run R on both Windows and

Linux (Fedora).
Thank you,
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,
