## Class CheckArg

- java.lang.Object
- - org.modeshape.common.util.CheckArg

-     @Immutable
      public final class CheckArg
      extends Object

  Utility class that checks arguments to methods. This class is to be used only in API methods, where failure to supply correct arguments should result in a useful error message. In all cases, use the `assert` statement.
