I think it is a standard message when compiling. I do not think you have to address it.

Thanks Duncan. It’s annoying as it prevents the dialog box from popping up.

This is explained in the Teacher's Notes in the first video for the Java Course. It is something that is used by Treehouse's Workspaces to manage memory for the Java Environment. It is not an error and cannot be removed, and it will have no effect on any of your code.

If something is supposed to be "popping up" as you describe, but isn't, then the problem will be with your code, not the Java Workspace message. Have a quick look again at your code.

You haven't linked any challenge or course to this thread, so I cannot provide any better troubleshooting. If you are still having an issue, you will need to link the challenge, course, or video being referenced. Even better is to click the Get Help button located at each video, challenge, or quiz, as this will directly link to the correct spot. With this method, make sure "include code" is checked and it will also add your code to the post, so others will be able to help troubleshoot.

Another point, many of the challenges in the Java courses are correct when nothing is returned in the console.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
