I would like to start using the new java 1.4 function "assert".
( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/lang/assert.html#c ompiling)

However, in order to do so, the option "-source 1.4"
must be specified for the class compiler:
javac -source 1.4 MyClass.java

How can I specify such an option in Eclipse?

Thank you very mucy.

Thanks, I have tried.
But a single line:
assert true;

will give me the following error in Eclipse:
Syntax error on token "assert",
AssignmentOperator expected after this token.

Another suggestion?
Thanks again.

Try to set "Compiler compliance level", "Generated .class file
compatibility" and "source compatibility" to 1.4. This works for me.
