Invalid Firmata library?

[vsurducan]

Arduino 1.6.5r2 (build 2015.06.08 3:34) teensduino 1.24, teensy3.1

Compiling the do nothing sketch:

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

ends with the message: Invalid library found in C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\arduino-1.6.5\libraries\Firmata: Library can't use both 'src' and 'utility' folders.

verification of the same sketch is ending with no error

compilation using Arduino uno board is ending without any error.

Are you sure Teensy is selected in the Tools > Boards menu?

When Teensy is selected, Arduino should use the copy of Firmata in hardware/teensy/avr/libraries/Firmata.

The copy in libraries/Firmata (not in the more specific hardware/teensy location) should only be used when you have a non-Teensy board selected.

Of course it's selected, I'm struggling with a Teensy 3.1 lying on my desk.
I'm not using Firmata library at all. That's why I said the IDE for Arduino it's at least weird (to use kind words).

The message seems it does not interfere with the hex file functionality.

This must be a bug with Arduino itself. Teensyduino never touches the files in libraries/Firmata (in version 1.6.1 and later). If something is messed up in there, it not PJRC's doing!

I started to notice this as well, using 1.6.5.. Invalid library found in C:\Arduino\libraries\Firmata: Library can't use both 'src' and 'utility' folders.

I see that the issue is 1.6.5 issue.. Seems like it does not do any harm, but I using a very tiny program currently..

I did a little test,

I removed the folder 'utility' from the 'Firmdata' folder.
No longer an error..
