Hi there,
I just jumped into this introductory course to Java and the very first assignment gave a different output on the Console than in the tutorial video.
On both compiling ánd on executing the class, I get these errors:
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? One thing that I spot is that the '=' character is turning red in my workplace / console, while in the video it remains grey. Was this a good syntax at the time of recording the video, but has it become obsolete or anything??

"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!"
