In Java Basics course first video Teachers Notes
you can find the following line:
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!

837 PointsI found a way to hide the message. Copy this line in the console:
unset JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS && unset _JAVA_OPTIONS
It worked for me and my brother.

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,175 PointsBy unsetting these Options you will also make your Java compiler less faster.
Do you really want to do that?
The point of these changes was for Treehouse Java Virtual Machine to work faster.
If you unset these options you make it slower again.
So be aware that you are not hiding the message, but rather the turning off the options that verbosely show you when they are on

869 PointsIs there any way to suppress that? It popping up is the not the problem but its making the console look very messy. Please and thank you.

Read here for some workarounds.
But judging from answers you'll spend more efforts hiding this message, then simply ignoring it :)
Switch to IDE, get faster to 'Local Development Environments' course. and message will disappear.
