Description

My code relied heavily on the java1.4 assert command and my unit tests explicitly test based on those assetions.

but when i run m2 test the surefire plugin does not execute with the -enableassertions turned on, so my tests fail.

looking in the documentation for the surefire plugin on http://maven.apache.org/maven2/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html I see no way of setting that flag.

could it please be added. this is areal blocker for me.
