In workspace, can I get rid of lines like Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m in between treehouse:~/workspace$ ?

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

Hi Loyola,

If you actually have a look at the notes under the video, there is a note from the Treehouse staff about this:

It's not an error!

Not to worry, the Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m is not an error on your part, we recently just tweaked our setup to have more memory allocated. Don't fret that mine looks different!

So, it is meant to be there and cannot be removed.

:dizzy:

So I can ignore the lines. However my code is not printing either. Any suggestions or other steps I need to take with the recent tweaks you mentioned?

Yes, but it is the only thing that I get. I don't get "My name is ..." Everything I put in comes out "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m" is that the way it is supposed to be?

So I am confused. Does this mean that the only thing we will see in workspace is: JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m ? Like we will not see our strings print indefinitely?
