I use the C way: run a preprocessor to handle assert calls.
Can use either the C/C++ preprocessor or consider using m4.
One gotcha is that java doesn't support `#line' directives, so if you use
the C/C++ preprocessor then you'll need to use `grep -v '^#'' somewhere.

You could use one of the implementations that comiles to java (e.g. polyj)
or use any implementation of genericity and use gcj on the produced class
files.
