To use Open-Source R, it is required to install the rJava package in your Open-Source R installation. If rJava is not installed, then this or a similar R error will be seen in the SplusServer.log file: ======================================== 2015-01-23 01:27:05,811 | ERROR | | SplusMessageServerWrapper | JobExecutionThreadPool-2: Error occurred while trying to start engine service!
