Description

The onException(Throwable.class) does not catch java.lang.AssertionError in 4.4.0.  It worked fine in 3.18.x.

Here is a sample:

from("timer://test?repeatCount=1")
    .onException(Throwable.class).handled(true).log("in onException").end()
    .process({
        assert false : "test onException for assert"
    }) 

The onException would not catch the assert failure and not print "in onException" in log.  The onException can catch other exceptions.
