To compile assert statements, you need:
- compliance set to 1.4
- source level set to 1.4
- target platform set to 1.4
- assert as an identifier set to error.

Compliance 1.4 means the compiler is behaving like javac 1.4. By default 
javac 1.4 is not compiling assert statements. You need to set explicitly 
the source level to 1.4 using -source 1.4. This is the same kind of 
settings in Eclipse.
