Renjin is a JVM-based interpreter for the The R Project for Statistical Computing.
The primary goals of the project are to provide a modern interpreter that serves as a drop-in replacement for GNU R, but is easier to integrate with other systems, offers better performance, and is more extensible.
For more information, please visit http://www.renjin.org.
Standalone distributions of Renjin are available for ad-hoc analysis. Downloads are available at renjin.org.
Artifacts from the latest successful build are available from the build server here.

Using a a modern build tool such a Maven is definitely recommended, particularly if you're planning on including R packages which often have several levels of transitive dependencies.
You can add Renjin to your Maven project by adding the following to your pom.xml file:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.renjin</groupId>
<artifactId>renjin-script-engine</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

</repositories>At this time, building Renjin completely is only supported on Ubuntu 16.04. The resulting Java builds are fully platform-independent.
