Description

If the Oak is run with assertions enabled (-ea VM flag) then it throws AssertionError instead of javax.jcr.RepositoryException

    @Test
    public void testExceptionThrownForInvalidPath() throws RepositoryException {
        Session session = getAdminSession();

        session.itemExists("//jcr:content");
    }

Above code has following behaviour

• In JR2 - javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Invalid path://jcr:content
• In Oak with -ea - java.lang.AssertionError
• In Oak without -ea - Returns false.

For compatibility and also as per spec it should throw RepositoryException
