It Looks like he following

    // load protocol for ADDE URLs
    // See java.net.URL for explanation of URL handling
    static
    {
        try
        {
            String handlers
System.getProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs");
            String newProperty = null;
            if (handlers == null)
                newProperty = "edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas";
            else if (handlers.indexOf("edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas") < 0)
                newProperty = "edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas | " + handlers;
            if (newProperty != null)  // was set above
                System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
newProperty);
            System.out.println(
                "Able to set System Property: java.protocol.handler.pkgs
"+handlers + newProperty);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(
                "Unable to set System Property:
java.protocol.handler.pkgs");
        }
    }
