Infrastructure » DataONE R Client

The current @dataone@ package depends on rJava to load the DataONE libclient library for interacting with services. Consider refactoring this using RCurl for the communications mechanism. This would require building a much more complete model of the DataONE system in R, as currently we rely on a bunch of hidden classes in Java. So, on the one hand, a pure R refactor would be simpler by eliminating rJava. But it would also be more complex, requiring more code on the R side.
