Ok, but isn't that redundant with logging? in such case it wouldn't be beneficial to use? I was trying to follow the whole thread, and from what I was reading before it seemed like some were thinking of Category.assert() as what is used in JUnit. If not, I would think that it wouldn't be proper to use and assert in that way. I would think that you would send a ERROR, or FATAL and have your program handle the code to exit out. An assert after all is an "if" clause. I haven't been in the Java community more then a few months so I could be way off... but it would seem more logical to me to adopt the JUnit interpretation of an assert as a precondition to working, and leave the rest to if statements and FATAL logging levels...? -Ben ps. its probably a good thing its getting removed...
