I am trying to get rJava to load the htmlunit java package
(http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/). rJava does not seem to be able to load and
find the class in this package. This issue is the same on Windows 7 and Fedora
17 computers.
rJava will load and init because I can see java.util.* classes, java.net.*
classes, java.io.IOException, and cssparser classes. cssparser is required by
htmlunit.
Thanks for you help.
