[BioC] compiler for R running bioconductor

[Patrick Aboyoun]

I don't know of any IDE for R that contains a debugger, but I do use the 
StatET plugin for Eclipse. It is mainly an editor for R, much like 
Tinn-R, but I find it useful because it has an svn plugin that allows me 
to see the Bioconductor repositories in a tree structure (like Windows 
Explorer) and monitor development activity. What was Insightful 
Corporation and is now part of TIBCO produced a debugger within Eclipse 
for R's cousin S-PLUS, so for you developers out there it is possible to 
integrate the the R engine into IDE's like Eclipse to provide step 
debugging capabilities, "watch" variable evaluation, and code profiling 
activities.
