It seems the Eclipse R add-on StatET, has two difference kinds of R Projects. What are the differences between these two?

This is a new type of a project, useful when you're debugging your package from source (as of late, StatET has debugging capabilities, too). See some comments from the author of StatET from about a month ago.

  • Thanks. Here is the passage I was looking for: "For your own packages that you develop within Eclipse, you should create an R Package Project (and set the root and name of the package correctly). An R Package Project is a new type of Project (other than the plain 'R Project'). If you then install the package from within Eclipse (using the R CMD tools inside your R package project (by selecting the root folder of the package and invoking R CMD INSTALL on it), you will be able to debug within the package namespace." – JohnRos Dec 26 '11 at 11:17
