At first I thought that this is a problem of setting JAVA_HOME, and setting it to JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 before starting R seemed to solve the problem. But this setting was ignored by shiny-server, so I spent some time figuring out how to force shiny-server to respect it. Only after repeated failure I’ve noticed that LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Sys.getenv() points to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/server and there was no directory /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/ in the system. Then I found out that this library is provided by default-jre and when it was installed everything start to work. Then I investigated further and found that this package is only optional for r-cran-rjava.

You have the 'jre', you may need the 'jdk' for the compiler. I think the Depends: we have is good enough for running Java based R packages. At least it used to be...
