Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2004-03-04 21:53:00 EST 
Build 20040226

Here a baffling error:
   "Syntax error on token "assert", assert expected."

package org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom;
public class Main {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		assert true; // syntax error
	}
}


I get this error when compiling in 1.4 mode with source=1.4, class 
files=1.4, "assert" as identifier=error.

I was being fooled. The project with the code had non-default compiler setting 
and was still in 1.3 source more. I had only changed the global default 
setting. Never mind.
