1.0 beta 4

This is expected to be the last beta release. All features that was envisioned for
version 1.0 are now implemented.

At this point Ride is usable and provides a nice IDE for developing and testing R scripts aimed to run in the Renjin ScriptEngine.

To run Ride you need to have maven and Java 1.8 or later installed.
If you use open JDK then you might need to do something like sudo apt-get install openjfx depending on your distro.

Ride is started using maven (see ride.sh/ride.cmd for details).
This is because renjin is not included in the fat jar and needs to be wired in to the classpath upon startup.
You can specify a different renjin version in the pom if you like but note that it requires renjin version 0.9.2716 or later to work.

Since you probably want to run the ScriptEngine with the ClassPathPackageLoader when embedding your R app,
you can set Ride to use this to resolve packages. You then need to include those dependencies to the maven.pom.
