Description Robert (Kraythe) Simmons CLA 2004-09-23 18:11:27 EDT 
Currently if you embed asserts into eclipse plugin code, the platform will not 
run. I imagine this is because it is being disabled on the comand line that 
runs eclipse. This should be changed as assertions are very useful.

Moving to JDT Core for comment.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-09-23 22:10:21 EDT 
What do you mean by "the platform will not run"? If you run with -ea as a vm
argument, it should enable assertions at runtime.
Comment 3 Robert (Kraythe) Simmons CLA 2004-09-23 23:28:52 EDT 
I mean it should be configured to run that way by default or no developer can 
really use asserts.
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-09-24 04:02:44 EDT 
Enabling assertions is not default behavior for 1.4 VMs either.
