STM32CubeMX -- Unwanted STDERR Output

STM32CubeMX 6.12.0 running on Fedora 39 from a terminal window generates a stream of the following errors to the console:

This happens every 30 seconds.

Looking at the strace output of the Java process, it is attempting to open a file in /etc which does not exist:

readlink("/etc", 0x7f01c7bf1060, 1023) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
readlink("/etc/.java", 0x7f01c7bf1060, 1023) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Either STM32CubeMX should be modified so no attempt is made to access to this file, or the warning should be silenced when access is not possible.
