Eclipse StatET - R Help Server

Requirements

  • Java
  • RJSrv

Configuration

Edit the configuration(s) for the R environments in the folder renvs:

  • One configuration file per R environment
  • The name of the file is the id of the R environment

The server is based on Spring Boot; see documentation of Spring Boot e.g. how to configure the webserver.

Run the Server

To run the server just start the jar:

java -jar org.eclipse.statet.rhelp.server.jar &

Special modes

  • -index-and-exit - creates or updates the help index only

Access the Server

URI for API

The URI to access the help of an R environment via IDE is specified as follows:

http://<name or ip>:<port>/<env id>

For example: http://serverwithhelp:8080/r35

The following defaults can be optionally omitted:

  • <port> = 80
  • <env id> = default

So http://serverwithhelp/ is equal to http://serverwithhelp:80/default.

Web

The URL to access the help using a webbrowser is:

http://<name or ip>:<port>/rhelp/browse/<env id>
