Java setup for rJava?

[coatless]

Consider including Java:

# Headless download
# curl ... 

# This URL seems unstable.

# Then do a hdi mount/install/eject

# Run javareconf
R CMD javareconf

Seems like only Java SE 8 is presently supported by rJava, c.f. Ripley's remarks on r-sig-mac

Is the correct answer. How to work around this is in the current
manual, specifically R-admin for R 3.5.0 alpha or R-devel.

Java 10 has been out for 8 days, and the rJava maintainer was made aware
of the issues early this month, several other package maintainers only
today. The advice is to stick to an LTS release of Java (currently 8)
unless you know what you are doing.

And don't post to multiple lists!

Looks like the issues with Java 10 were addressed in rJava:
