Where can I find Windows binaries of previous versions of R? Some packages (namely, the SJava package) are not compatible with certain versions of R (the current one, for instance), is there some way around this?
I know of only one package that does not work under R-1.3.0 but does work under older ones (package hdf5 which was not updated for 1.2.0). That includes SJava: the information on http://www.omegahat.org/RSJava/index.html does not give a version requirement on R. The *binary* there is old, but there are instructions to build from the sources. If (as I must assume) you tried and it failed, you need to send a bug report to the Omegahat project. Failing that, you can build any earlier version of R from the R sources, which are on CRAN back to version 0.65 or so.
