Eclipse: enable claims

Question

I am running Eclipse Galileo. How to include statements in Eclipse?

As suggested by other sites, I tried to add arguments: -ea . I also tried changing the compiler compliance level to 1.4 . None of these suggestions worked.

Answer 1

• Go to the Run menu and then to the Run Configurations menu item.

2. In the left pane, navigate to Java Application , and then go to Assertions .

3. In the right pane, select the Arguments tab.

4. In the VM arguments field, enter -ea to enable the statements.

5. Click the Apply button, and then Run .

To globally set it as the default value for everything:

• Go to the Window menu (if you are on Windows) or go to the Eclipse menu (if you are on a Mac). For Linux, it might be something similar.

• Go to Preferences .

• Select Java and then Installed JREs in the left pane.

• Select JRE and click the Edit... button in the right pane.

• In the Default VM arguments field, add -ea .

Answer 2

If you want to solve this problem globally for all JUnit tests, go to Preferences > Java > JUnit and at the top of the screen check the box " Add" ea "to the arguments of the virtual machine when creating a new JUnit launch configuration " Now Eclipse will not beat you for every The new test you want to run. For existing tests, you must remove their run configurations in Run Configuration > JUnit .

Answer 3

To do this globally for all Java launches, edit the Properties Installed JRE.

For example: Windows → Settings → highlight the standard JRE → click Change ... → In the default VM argument input field, enter -ea → click the finish button.

It worked on the Eclipse Kepler SR2.

Answer 4

In maven projects, you can run the main method using the auto-magic classpath method with:

 bash> export MAVEN_OPTS="-ea" && mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.your.class.with.main" cmd> set MAVEN_OPTS="-ea" && mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.your.class.with.main" 

In linux / eclipse you can add a terminal window with bash for more convenient use.

Answer 5

Do you want to include claims for the application that you are using from Eclipse? I usually just add -ea to the command line options in the Run As profile.
