I am running maxent from R, in the package biomod2 and the following error appeared. I do not come from a technical background and wasn't sure why is this error happening. Is it a memory problem or someone said the java path is not set. But I followed the instructions to set maxent to run in R and also downloaded Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit and set a path for it as explained in this pdf: http://modata.ceoe.udel.edu/dev/dhaulsee/class_rcode/r_pkgmanuals/MAXENT4R_directions.pdf
I would be really grateful if you could help me understand this problem and any solution to it.
Thanks a lot

I've just manage to solve this problem - it is a problem with the file path specified. For me, I had a space in one of the folder names which was not accepted in the path to the maxent.jar file. From looking at your error, it looks like it might be the two backslashes.
E:\bioclim_2.5min\model/maxent.jar
should probably read
E:/bioclim_2.5min/model/maxent.jar
