Why when running heritrix in eclipse does it complain about the assert keyword?
You’ll need to configure Eclipse for Java 5.0 compliance to get rid of the assert errors (prior to Java 5.0 ‘assert’ was not a keyword and currently Eclipse defaults 1.3). This can be done by going into “Window>Preferences>Java/Compiler>Compliance and Classfiles” and setting “Compiler compliance level” to 5.0. Make sure the ‘Use default compliance level’ is UNCHECKED and that the ‘Generated .class files compatibility’ and ‘Source compatibility’ are also set to 5.0.
