I still dont understand. The study guide says that java 1.4 covers assertions, and i try to use the java syntax ive written in my first post, but it wont compile. And when i write java in my command window, it doesnt support the -source option, why is that ? and when i dont got this option, how can i compile source with assertions in it ? I c that u have java version 1.4.1_03 while i have 1.4.1_01, if thats the case, then the study guide should say that i have to use java version 1.4.1_03....still confused
