Getting knitr to work with StatET

StatET (an Eclipse plug-in that can handle, among other things, R) offers support for writing Sweave (.Rnw) documents.

Eclipse + Rcpp + RInside = Magic

  I've been doing R/Java development for some time, creating packages both large and small with this tool chain. I have used Eclipse as my package development environment almost exclusively, but I didn't realize how much I relied on the IDE before I had to do some serious R/C++ package development. My first Rcpp package (wordcloud)

March 10, 2012

My guess is R is most commonly integrated with C/C++ to handle heavy-duty computing. (thanks in no small part due to the productivity of Dick Eddlebuttle!) That said, if you’re like most statisticians and physical scientists and aren’t already a programming...

February 25, 2012
By

A lot of people consider the static typing found in languages such as C, C++, ML, Java and Scala as needless hairshirtism. They consider the dynamic typing of languages like Lisp, Scheme, Perl, Ruby and Python as a critical advantage (ignoring other features of these languages and other efforts at generic programming such as the Related posts:

GUI building in R: gWidgets vs Deducer

I’ve been a user (and fan) of gWidgets for a couple of years now for GUI building in R. (See my introduction to it here.) However, it’s always good to check out the competition so I’ve been playing around with Deducer to see how they compare. R can access a number of GUI building frameworks

Color Theme for Eclipse IDE + StatET Editor: rappster
