It seems to depend on the *nix and the JVM, under S-PLUS (and SJava and ...). Solaris, surprisingly, seems one of the worse Unix hosts for this. John Chambers once told me that he and Duncan TL had very similar SGI systems at Bell Labs and Java display on one was much faster than the other. I

I like many of the features of eclipse -- we've got all of the nice ones on my ESS roadmap (i.e. via ECB and the Eric Eide emacs tools integration). It's a bit harder than it looks, though (many of the same problems with that (eclipse) would be similar to the problems that are holding up ESS deve

I do not see that as a problem; I've had reasonable luck running SJava visualization code from Orca and ROrca remotely (over 1000bT), and VNC works as well for that, but you are right, have to pay attention to screen color depth. Now whether SJava can be used for a stable system is a completely s

I just have one question. From my very little (and negative) experience with the Java GUI for S-PLUS on *nix, one big problem is that it doesn't work when running S-PLUS remotely, either via X or VNC (unless the display is 8-bit): The GUI is running, but on screen I just see one big black rectang
