Class Assertions

extends Object

If you want to know if assertions are enabled (java option "-ea"), you can use this helper class. At runtime you can use the 'jconsole' and look at the java.lang.Runtime MXBean (java.lang.management.RuntimeMXBean). Here you can look at the attribute "InputArguments" if "-ea" is set.
