Suggestions on how to access google webmaster tools' api through R ?

I wish to access my Google Webmaster's tools' API via R.

I see from here:

http://code.google.com/apis/webmastertools/docs/2.0/reference.html

That it requires fetching a feed behind https and parsing it.

Any suggestions on how to do it?

A: 

I guess you could use the Java client with rJava.

Hi Matti, could you be a bit more specific - I am not sure how to go about that.

For the java side of things there are some examples http://code.google.com/intl/fi-FI/apis/webmastertools/docs/2.0/developers_guide_java.html, as how to call it from rJava I think you need to refer to its documentation. I'm not a Java programmer myself, but there a lot of projects that use rJava succesfully.
