Bug Description

given the number of libraries we have and the way in which assert is used it should be enabled by default at runtime. This should be done inside JavaRun so that in theory the option to turn it off could be made available.

The only *correct* solution was to put "-ea" on the command-line. Despite having several assertion functions none of them can:
1. affect the system classes
2. be inherited by child class loaders

Thus the command-line option is the only one that actually works. *sigh*
