I believe I'm responsible for the above warning message, but I'm not sure I 
like the resulting behavior - I wasn't aware that the job runner now captures 
warning messages like this and sets the job state to error.  At the time I 
enhance the Galaxy datatypes components to work with the Tool Shed, this was 
not the behavior.

Yes, the above plan would be a "best practice".

I'm wondering if we should just eliminate the warning message altogether sicne 
it now results in jobe errors.  Do others agree?
