But why ? , i read this following in K&B.

Selective Enabling and Disabling
The command-line switches for assertions can be used in various ways:

  • With no arguments (as in the preceding examples) Enables or disables assertions in all classes, except for the system classes.


  • With a package name Enables or disables assertions in the package specified, and any packages below this package in the same directory hierarchy (more on that in a moment).


  • With a class name Enables or disables assertions in the class specified.


  • You can combine switches to, say, disable assertions in a single class, but keep them enabled for all others, as follows:

    java -ea -da:com.geeksanonymous.Foo

    The preceding command line tells the JVM to enable assertions in general, but disable them in the class com.geeksanonymous.Foo. You can do the same selectivity for a package as follows:

    java -ea -da:com.geeksanonymous...

    The preceding command line tells the JVM to enable assertions in general, but disable them in the package com.geeksanonymous, and all of its subpackages!
