gulp

I have been working in a new library called gulp which you can find on https://github.com/ruivieira/gulp.

On the project’s page there are some usage examples but I will try to summarise the main points here.

The purpose of this library is to facilitate the parallel development of R and Java code, using rJava as the bridge. Creating bindings in rJava is quite simple, the tricky part of the process (in my opinion) being the maintenance of the bindings (usually done by hand) when refactoring your code.

As an example, let’s assume you have the following Java class:

@ExportClassReference(value="test")

public class Test {

// Java code

}

That you wish to call from R.
