       Body:
I added an assertTrue() method to org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlBeans as it had some other utility methods in it, plus was visible throughout the codebase.  If there's a better place for this, please let me know.

Since the number of changes is quite big, I will not submit a full patch for this change, but rather the changes to XmlBeans.java.  The changes will be submitted with the final 1.3 backport submission.

USAGE IDIOM:
if (XmlBeans.ASSERTS) XmlBeans.assertTrue(testCondtion, message); //message is optional

The test against XMLBEANS.asserts keeps the testCondition from being evaluated at runtime if the "xmlbeans.disableassertions" property is set.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XMLBEANS-24
    Summary: JDK 1.3.1 backport: make 'assert' backwards-compatible
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: XMLBeans
   Versions:
             Version 1

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Matt Bishop

Description:
Since JDK 1.3 does not support the 'assert' keyword, a similar mechanism needs to be put in place for the ~1000 assertion calls throughout the product.  This assert feature needs to be driven by a system property so that it can be turned off if desired.
