Problems with rJava in RStudio

[ashwinia]

Hi,
I am having problems with loading the rJava package. When I run rJava::.jinit() or load packages that depend on rJava (e.g., mallet), Rstudio crashes & restarts immediately.

The important thing is: All of this works fine on RGui.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled JDK, R, and Rstudio. I've included the location that has jvm.dll in PATH ("C:\Program files\Java\jdk-18.0.1\bin\server"). I uninstalled previous versions of java so JAVA_HOME points only to the new/current version of java (JAVA_HOME = " C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.1").

I'd appreciate any pointers. Thank you.

See the reply here:

DatabaseConnector causes RStudio failure

It seems that there are some intricate incompatibilities between RStudio and R 4.2.0 that sometimes crashes an rsession on Windows. See for instance rJava::.jinit() terminates R session of RStudio when using R 4.2.0 · Issue #11076 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub. There is a patched version of R 4.2.0 https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html which might solve (some of) the problems.
