[kepler-dev] asserts in Java

[Rod Spears]

I was wondering if there was a reason we were not using "asserts" that 
became available in the JDK 1.4?

Just as in C++ I think there can be a lot of utility in feature.

It would appear that they are always off and that we can turn them on 
for development runtime enabling us to catch things without incurring 
the overhead.
