I have downloaded R and statET to run R through eclipse, additionally, I have the 'rj' package downloaded, but when I try to launch R through eclipse, I get this error message. I suspect that my 'rj' package is in the wrong spot, but I don't know what the right spot is.

Launching the R Console was cancelled, because it seems starting the R engine failed.

Please make sure that R package 'rj' (2.1 or compatible) is installed and that the R library paths are set correctly for the R environment configuration 'R-3.4.3'.

What is the correct path?

there are several links on the statet page, what version of statet are you running ? From your message I guess you are running Eclipse 4.6 (Neon).

On the statet download page you can find the following table.

So you need to install this using the following command.

For RJ 2.1 (StatET 3.6):

install.packages(c("rj", "rj.gd"),repos="http://download.walware.de/rj-2.1")

In addition, if you are in windows when installing package often you download them in a directory where you have the right in non administrator mode e.g. ‘C:/Users/me/Documents/R/win-library/. This does not work. You need to run the install command with full administrator rights.
