Java tool options

I'm getting the 2 lines of response regarding the status of the compiler every time I run the code now. It didn't do this the other day. Strange?

Hi there, Teacher Russell! There actually isn't a problem It's not shown on Craig's workspace, but those "Java Tool option" messages you are getting are informational messages from the JVM about memory options set for the workspace. They have zero effect on your code. Take a look at this quote from the Teacher's Notes:

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!

But, when you want to reset a workspace (though I wouldn't advise it in this case), you can delete the workspace and when you click the "lauch workspace" button from the video it will recreate the workspace :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I saw the quote, and wasn't surprised when it showed up after running javac command. I didn't remember it doing that after running the code each time, though. I'm getting the 2 lines every time, followed by my printf message. I guess I just didn't notice it. thank you. I had tried to fix it with a new workspace earlier, but no change:)
