Java version (currently still only for
Amazon Corretto) is now determined dynamically using the
official GitHub json with releases, so when new
Java version becomes available, you will not be depenent on
rJavaEnv to be updated. As a fallback, versions up to 24
are hardcoded.
Added force argument to
java_download(). When set to TRUE, allows to
overwrite the distribution file if it already exist in the cache. This
save the trouble of deleting the cached file with
java_clear() before re-downloading.
Added a new function java_valid_versions() allows to
retrieve a list of all available Java versions for the
current automatically detected OS and CPU architecture, or
user-specified platform and architecture.
Better command line Java detection (thanks to Jonas
Lieth)
Test coverage is now 7.2%
Hot fix: improve robustness of setting Java
environment in the current session with either use_java()
or java_quick_install(). See bug fix below.
Bug fix: Setting Java environment via
rJava::.jniInitialized() rendered impossible changing Java
version for rJava-dependent packages, because it somehow
pre-initialised rJava
Breaking change: java_check_version_cmd() and
java_check_version_rjava() now return detected
Java version instead of
TRUE/FALSE
New function use_java() to download, install and set
Java from cache for the current sesssion, without touching
the current project/working directory. This is intended for use with
targets and callr.
New vignette on using the package with
targets' and 'callr
Updated documentation with clearer instructions on cache folder cleanup before removing the package
Depends on R > 4.0 to be able to write to the
package cache directory without extra user warning. Cache cleanup and
management functions are provided, as well as the documentation in both
README and vignettes.
Improved documentation
Better handling of cache directory
