rJavaEnv (development version)

rJavaEnv 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2025-04-04

New features

  • Java version (currently still only for Amazon Corretto) is now determined dynamically using the official GitHub json with releases, so when new Java version becomes available, you will not be depenent on rJavaEnv to be updated. As a fallback, versions up to 24 are hardcoded.

  • Added force argument to java_download(). When set to TRUE, allows to overwrite the distribution file if it already exist in the cache. This save the trouble of deleting the cached file with java_clear() before re-downloading.

  • Added a new function java_valid_versions() allows to retrieve a list of all available Java versions for the current automatically detected OS and CPU architecture, or user-specified platform and architecture.

Improvements

  • Better command line Java detection (thanks to Jonas Lieth)

  • Test coverage is now 7.2%

rJavaEnv 0.2.2 (2024-09-13)

CRAN release: 2024-09-13

  • Hot fix: improve robustness of setting Java environment in the current session with either use_java() or java_quick_install(). See bug fix below.

  • Bug fix: Setting Java environment via rJava::.jniInitialized() rendered impossible changing Java version for rJava-dependent packages, because it somehow pre-initialised rJava

CRAN release: 2024-09-03

  • Documentation and description clean-up

rJavaEnv 0.2.0 (2024-08-28)

  • Breaking change: java_check_version_cmd() and java_check_version_rjava() now return detected Java version instead of TRUE/FALSE

  • New function use_java() to download, install and set Java from cache for the current sesssion, without touching the current project/working directory. This is intended for use with targets and callr.

  • New vignette on using the package with targets' and 'callr

  • Updated documentation with clearer instructions on cache folder cleanup before removing the package
