Error using bst_startup (line 542)

I get this strange warning when I startup Brainstorm in R2014a on a MacBook Pro. Nonetheless, it seems so far that I can continue doing what I am doing without any further crashes (I am repeating the exercises we did in our Freiburg Workshop).

Why is this Java exception happening? Is there a way to hide it or address the underlying issue?

Hello,
Please check the configuration of the configuration of your HTTP proxy in the Matlab preferences.
If you are using a proxy, make sure the configuration is correct.
If you are not using a proxy, make sure that this option is not selected in the Matlab preferences.

That was it, sort of. :slight_smile:
It was not a proxy setting per se, but the fact that I was connecting through a WiFi repeater in my home and not directly to the router. Connecting to the router directly gives up no error. So heads up for those who connect in this way!

Thanks, Francois!
