Guys,

The statement,

If assertions are selectively enabled for a named class then assertions are automatically enabled for any subclass of the named class...

Is that true...if not why??

I've looked and so far I have not been able to find a clear answer on this.

Ok, my surmise on that line is that, if you have a class in one package and it's subclass in another package, then enabling assertions only in the superclass won't mean that you enable assertions in the subclass. Does this sound like a meaningful explanation to the statement above??

Anyone to comment on this?
