Enabling assertions in Netbeans

Question

I wanna do something like

java -enableassertions com.geeksanonymous.TestClass

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Right click to your project and select Properties -> Run -> Add new configuration (select a name for the configuration, in my case I named it "assertion"). Then select VM options and write -enableassertions.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to use the Run properties. The property is labeled 'VM Options'.
