I recently got a RFC on Eclipse and StatET setup from a R-help user, so here it is.
Note: there may be slight errors of omission in my directions as I am making these notes after I had a successful install. If you have questions post here. Setup tested with Eclipse 3.4.0 on XP 32-bit and Eclipse 3.4.2 on Vista 32-bit. R 2.9.0 alpha. Installing StatET: 1. Go to Help > Software Updates... > Available Software > Add Site... > and type in: http://download.walware.de/eclipse-3.4 2. Select the packages you want and Install 3. Restart Eclipse - if successful, you should see StatET under Window Preferences... 4. Go to Window > Preferences > StatET > R Environments > Add... and enter a label for your R environment (eg R 2.9.0 alpha) and path (eg L:/bin/R/R-2.9.0alpha ) NOTE: I had some flaky issues with sending code in StatET when my path included spaces, so if you have issues, it is best to reinstall R in a path that contains no spaces. 5. In Eclipse, click on the Add Views icon in your toolbar and select Other > StatET 6. In Eclipse, click on the Green Play Array Icon/Menu and and select Run Configurations... 6a. Enter a name for your run configuration (eg R 2.9.0 alpha ) 6b. Under the R Config tab, you should see your entry in 4. under Workbench default 6c. Enter a Working Directory, if you like 7. Reference for more details: http://www.splusbook.com/Rintro/R_Eclipse_StatET.pdf Installing Subversion (SVN Client): WARNING: Trust Tigris and their 0.7 & post 1.4-releases at your own risk. I spent several hours trying to get later versions to work, but they all failed to recognize SVNKit on my setups. Several other users have posted this issue. The solution is to install 1.4, which I will describe here. I assume that you already have an svn server setup on svn://svnserver 1. Help > Software Updates... > Add Site... > http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x 2. Pick the packages you want (pay attention to required ones) and install 3. Right-Click on Project Explorer > Import > SVN > Checkout Projects from SVN > Next 4. Create a new repository location > type in something like svn://svnserver/subdir > Next 5. Select the folders you want > Finish IMPORTANT if you have problems with any version of Subversion: Check: Windows > Preferences > Team > SVN > SVN Interface or: Windows > Preferences > Team > SVN > Client Connectors Tab to make sure that under SVN Interface or Client Interface (depending on the version of the plug-in) that you have JavaHL (what I use) or SVNKit. If not, these could be the reasons: 1. You didn't select the interface package during the install 2. You are using a post 1.4 version (eg 0.7 or 1.5 and later) Installing RTools/HTML Compiler for Windoze users: This is useful for users of package inline or for users who want to compile their own packages using Rcmd 0. NOTE: you need to install perl and some tex (I use MikTex) before you install Rtools - follow their instructions. 1. Go to: http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/installer.html 2. Get Microsoft's HTML Compiler (to create chm) here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms669985(VS.85).aspx It's called htmlhelp.exe and includes hhc.exe 3. Follow instructions: important point - you should set your path to include RTools and you RHome/bin and to hhc directory (eg L:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\) 4. Test under Windows/cmd to make sure your setup works properly (eg Rcmd --help) If you manage to get RCmd working, you can go back to Eclipse and do this: 1. Click on Green Play Arrow With Red toolbox Menu > External Tools Configuration 2. In Package directory enter something like L:/dev/workspace/mypackage 3. IMPORTANT: Under Command: pick the right one! Like Add-On Package: Build In a small box to the right, you will see the RCMD to be executed. You DO NOT need to enter the name of your package under Options/Arguments - basically type everything here EXCEPT the name of your package. 4. CHECK if something is wrong: In the R Config tab, you should have your correct R Environment picked (eg R 2.9.0 alpha) - this is how the system knows which path to use to get to RCmd I hope someone finds this useful.
