I do not use Java myself, so I wouldn't be the one to try this. It would be
nice if someone like you with R and Java clues coud try it. I honestly do
not know what is involved but I have the suspicion that it is no cake walk.
That said, Simon and Markus, the upstream authors, would certainly help. As
they develop mainly on OS X, their priorities and toolchain may not be
exactly like ours, but I do nudge them every now and then to try and debug on
Debian (as we did just before R 2.4.0 leading to the JGR_1.4-11 revision).
