Thanks to the comment Cedric I found following answer:

RJ needs to be used instead of Rterm (and RJ is not compatible to Java9)

Answer 2

Instead of using the option "Default R environment" I entered a custom url for the help view: https://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

I didn't experience a similar problem with the current stable version of statet, In Run configuration, edit your R configuration> R console there are a couple of options there are the box checked ? – Bacon

The inline help of statet is very usefull, try to make it work. – Bacon

The options are checked, see screenshots in updated question. – Turbidimeter

If you use Rterm it won't work. You need to install package rj. Have you managed to install it. What system are you running ? – Bacon

See #48096698 – Turbidimeter

If you write your comment that RJ needs to be used instead of Rterm (and that RJ is not compatible to Java9) as an answer I'll accept it. – Turbidimeter
