Simon, I got bounced as a non-member. Maybe you are in the best position to have an opinion on this.
Yes, since OS X 10.5 Apple dropped support for AWT on the main thread,
so essentially you cannot use any graphics classes in R on OS X 10.5
since R is single-threaded. They work in JGR, though.
This is a bit problematic for tests and I don't have a good solution.
I have a hack that you're welcome to use -- when checking packages on
OS X 10.5 we set NOAWT=1 so you could make your graphics tests
conditional on
if (!nzchar(Sys.getenv("NOAWT"))) {
## AWT/Swing tests here
}
It's not pretty but that's all I can offer at the moment .. Ideally
Apple would fix that issue but ...
Cheers,
Simon

I did not change anything on CRAN since I've uploaded the package. I believe it used to work fine. The issue is Java specific as my package uses rJava. When running the examples, one gets: checking Rd contents ... OK checking examples ... ERROR Running examples in 'xlsx-Ex.R' failed. The error most likely occurred in:

Let me know if there is something on my side that I need to do. Of
course, I can \dontrun the example.
Thank you,

Hi Adrian,
I see that the xlsx build fails on Mac:
http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/xlsx-00check.html
I hope this is only a temporary problem ?
