Using your code, it worked for me without error when I did the following:

system2('java', args = c('-jar', 'sample.jar', '123'),
         stdout = 'stdout.txt', stderr = 'stderr.txt')

I ran this on Mac OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite). The results were printed to "stdout.txt".

It seems from the documentation for system2, the first option is just a command (i.e. no arguments). The arguments are to be specified with the args parameter.

Here is a snippet from the Details section:

Unlike system, command is always quoted by shQuote, so it must be a single command without arguments.
