I also get this, but this does not interrupt normal operations. Are you trying to plot data from excel sheet ??

Hi

We must keep the help list informed.

It does not interrupt normal operations, true, but I write results (normal text) to the command window and this unnecessary feedback clutter my output. If I can make IO recognise the JAVA path then I can use my output sensibly.

I know that the developers is working on a new version of IO, so hopefully this cosmetic problem will be solved quickly.

In the mean time, should anyone have a solution or workaround I'll appreciate.
