Error in loading RWeka - r

Question

After installing the RWeka package with R studio,
library(RWeka)
produces a fatal error, forcing me to start a new session.
loading the package in R vanilla shows an error message like this.

Selection:
I'm currently using Java Version 8 Update 181, R version 3.5.0, and R Studio 1.1.423 on macOD High Sierra (version 10.13.5).
Is there a way to work this through?
