Hi All,
What exactly are the system classes?
K&B says the �java �ea or �da� switches without arguments will enable or disable assertions in all classes, except for the system classes.
The book also says �java �ea �dsa� will enable assertions in general, but disable assertions in system classes.
I�m not seeing why �dsa is needed since it looks like the only why to enable the system classes� assertions is with the �esa switch. Also in what scenario(s) would the system classes� assertions need to be enabled by anyone other than a developer developing a system class?
Thanks, Richard
