I am writing a function that i want to include in a user-defined package (MYPACKAGE). The function is a follows:
readSchedule <- function(FILE){
WB = loadWorkbook(FILE)
WS= readWorksheet(WB, sheet = 'Sheet1',header = TRUE)
return(WS)
}
where FILE is the name of the Excel file i want to read. When writing this function, I want it to import XLConnect, since that is the package it uses. I placed header code defining the function:
@param FILE Excel file
@return Excel data
@export
@import XLConnect
I have also added import(XLConnect) to the NAMESPACE and the DESCRIPTION file of MYPACKAGE. The package builds fine (or at least at first cut it appears to build OK) but when i run "Check Package" it fails and gives me the following error:
* installing *source* package 'MYPACKAGE' ...
** R
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help

I have the correct version of Java and can load rJava just fine. i've tried importing rJava (similar to XLConnect) but i get the same error. Below is my sessionInfo:
