Solution

This message is just a warning.

It means that none of the environment variables "JAVA_HOME" or "STAMBIA_JAVA_HOME" are defined.

If the Runtime's environment has a Java machine available then this will have no incidence : the Runtime will use it and continue normally. 

It is a good practice to define a STAMBIA_JAVA_HOME environment variable: this ensures that the Runtime always uses the specified Java installation, despite potentially undesired third-party Java updates.
