I can't seem to get the new assert statement to work. It compiles fine, but

assert false;

does not do anything. (neither does assert true;)

I did set up the project properties to be 1.4 compliant and to treat
identifiers named assert as errors.

What am I missing?

Thanks

You need to enable assertions in the JVM. They are not enabled by
default for some reason. Add "-ea" to the VM arguments in your launch
configuration.
