Your Java is seriously old. Start by updating it (1.8.0_74 is current, AFAIK).

I can reproduce this with the CRAN binary packages, but installing the packages from source works for me on El Capitan (using the CRAN binary R). So I suspect a problem with the CRAN binary package of rJava, which seems to be hard-coded to use /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework and not Oracle Java.

sessionInfo (after library(xlsx) and library(XLConnect)) and javareconf output

What is going on?
What is the solution for this problem?
