Just looked at the java docs and found the following: Programmers of certain critical systems might wish to ensure that assertions are not disabled in the field. The following static initialization idiom prevents a class from being initialized if its assertions have been disabled: static { boolean assertsEnabled = false; assert assertsEnabled = true; // *Intentional side effect!!!* if (!assertsEnabled) throw new RuntimeException("Asserts must be enabled!!!"); } _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
