Trying to install a package from github using remotes, the following statement results in an error:

install_github("miraisolutions/xlconnect@feature/poi-4.1.0")

See attached log.

Hello,

thank you for the report. We will investigate it. As you may know, for the time being, you can also install the package (and its dependencies) manually:

install.fastr.packages('rJava')
install.packages('/path/to/where/you/downloaded/XLConnectJars', repos=NULL)
install.packages('/path/to/where/you/downloaded/xlconnect', repos=NULL)

@steve-s I didn't know that, thank you!
