How can I configure eclipse to show Assertion errors?

Question

My eclipse simply does not show the error in assertions... how can I change it? Thanks.

Answer 1

Asserations will always be compiled to the bytecode but are ignored from the Interpreter by default!

Open the project-propertys and go to "Run/Debug Settings", now edit your launch-configuration and add "-ea" argument to the VM-Properties.

Have Fun.
