* <code>Assert</code> is useful for for embedding runtime sanity checks
* in code. The static predicate methods all test a condition and throw some
* type of unchecked exception if the condition does not hold.
* <p>
* Assertion failure exceptions, like most runtime exceptions, are
* thrown when something is misbehaving. Assertion failures are invariably
* unspecified behavior; consequently, clients should never rely on
* these being thrown (or not thrown). <b>If you find yourself in the
* position where you need to catch an assertion failure, you have most
* certainly written your program incorrectly.</b>
* </p>
* <p>
* Note that an <code>assert</code> statement is slated to be added to the
* Java language in JDK 1.4, rending this class obsolete.
*
* @deprecated As of 3.3, replaced by {@link org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert}
