---------------------------------------------

Description: 
When runide.sh is executed error messages are published on stdout, not stderr -
this contradicts the standard shell conventions.

To duplicate:
Assume that the directory /foobar/jdk doesn't exist on the system:

bash-2.00$ ffj -jdkhome /foobar/jdk 1>/dev/null
bash-2.00$ 


Work Around: 
Dont redirect the (copious!!!!) output on stdout to some non-visible stream

Suggested Fix: 
Modify runide.sh to put error messages onto stderr
