Syntax error on token "assert" even though compliance is 1.4 [message #150468]

I'm using Eclipse 3.0M7 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 (JVM 1.4.1).

Even though Properties/Java Compiler/Compliance and Classfiles/Compiler
Compliance Level is
set to 1.4, assert statements are causing this error:

Syntax error on token "assert", assert expected

I tried various permutations on the Compliance tab to no effect.

TIA

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.

Merci beaucoup. J'ai réussi. Changing the disallow dropdown box from
warning to error was
what I needed to know. Left on 'Warning', the dialog box would act as if
the combination of
source and target of 1.4 was invalid.
