R, matey

Try this: launch Bioclipse 2 (after the usual updating of all plugins you can think of), open up the Javascript Console, and type this:

js> R
R> x <- matrix( c(9, 9, 0, 1, 3, 2, 0, 7, 6), 3 )
R> y <- matrix( c(4, 7, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 6, 5), 3 )
R> x * y
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]   36    1    0
[2,]   63    3   42
[3,]    0    0   30

R> q()
js> 

Shiver me timbers! That's R, matey! Big kudos to kaskelot++ for making it work this far.

Support is still a bit spotty. If you happen to aggravate R in any way, it walks the plank and does not come back, and you're going to have to relaunch Bioclipse. But things can only get better from here. Expect some Bioclipse/R integration soon, for example.

Update: Thanks to some impressive C hackery from kaskelot++, R no longer crashes and goes away forever when input is less than syntactical.
