Then there is no compatibility problem,no need to add a new switch to the JDK, and the coder gets smacked with an error.

... if assertions are turned on (which happens far too rarely)

But still an interesting idea - I had not seen it before.
I wonder what Josh thinks.

Martin,

Regarding this IAE issue, another approach might be given non null�Comparator 'c':

if(c.getClass().desiredAssertionStatus()) {
� throw new AssertionError(".....");
}

Then there is no compatibility problem,no need to add a new switch to the JDK, and the coder gets smacked with an error.
