Docu / Help:
- StatET provides a few Cheat Sheets (
help menu in Eclipse),
in particular about the setup of launch configurations
(R Console, R CMD, Sweave Processing Tool).
- Also check the chapter StatET in the Eclipse help. It is not complete, but describes some important concepts.
- Longhow Lam wrote
A Guide to Eclipse and the R plug-in StatET. You can download the draft from
his R page.
It is a good starting point for Eclipse beginners, but also advanced users find instructions on a lot of StatET features in this guide. - Furthermore, we created a short screencast showing
how to start the New Console and some of its new features
(requires Flash). - In the Release Notes & Annotations Stephan describes some concepts of StatET.
