\title{
Java callback engineCast a Java object to another class
}
\description{
\code{.jengine} obtains the current callback engine or starts it.
}
\usage{
.jengine(start=FALSE, silent=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{start}{if set to \code{TRUE} then the callback engine is started
if it is not yet active}
\item{silent}{if set to \code{TRUE} then NULL is returned if there is
no engine available. Otherwise an error is raised}
}
\value{
Returns a Java object reference (\code{jobjRef}) to the current Java
callback engine.
}
\details{
\code{.jengine} can be used to detect whether the engine was started
or to start the engine.
Before any callbacks from Java into R can be performed, the Java
callback engine must be initialized, loading Java/R Interface
(JRI). If JRI was not started and \code{start} is set to \code{TRUE}
then \code{.jengine} will load necessary classes and start
it.
Note that JRI is an optional part of rJava and requires R shared
library at the moment. By default rJava will continue with
installation even if JRI cannot be built.
