Why can't I load the OpenStreetMap R-Package?

I installed the OpenStreetMap package in R but every time I load the package, I get the following error:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘OpenStreetMap’: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details: call: fun(libname, pkgname) error: JAVA_HOME cannot be determined from the Registry

Can someone explain what could be happening?

Thanks!

have you installed java ? – Moody_Mudskipper
Not sure what your end goal is, but the mapview package is pretty painless. – JMT2080AD
The error message clearly implies you either haven't installed rJava or the registry entry for JAVA_HOME is not set properly.. – IRTFM
Doesn'r rJava get installed when I install OpenStreetMap? – A. Quinones
I just tried the mapview package and WOW! It is excellent! Thank you so much! – A. Quinones

I think you have to add JAVA_HOME as a new PATH environment variable. I found all the usefull informations about java here: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/howto/JDK_HowTo.html
