+ ;; R has some support for Java. When the JDK is available at configure
+ ;; time environment variables pointing to the JDK will be recorded under
+ ;; $R_HOME/etc and ./tools/getsp.java will be compiled which is used by "R
+ ;; CMD javareconf". "R CMD javareconf" appears to only be used to update
+ ;; the recorded environment variables in $R_HOME/etc. Refer to
+ ;; https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Java-support
+ ;; for additional information.

+ ;; As the JDK is a rather large input with only very limited effects on R,
+ ;; we decided to drop it.
