Getting weird text when running my code.

When I type 'javac Introductions.java' and 'java Introductions' in the console I get the following text:

treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m

And:

treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m Hi, im George George likes to code

Everything still runs with no errors, but I'm wondering about the meaning of this text. Thanks!

Hi George,

That's just the setup of the compiler - ignore those messages, it means stuff is working how it should!
