Assert keyword reference in javafx

Question

I've been looking for a javafx webpage that will get me
the list of keywords in javafx 1.2. However, this link:
http://openjfx.java.sun.com/current-build/doc/reference/JavaFXReference.html
doesn't seem to work anymore. I did find this one:
http://jarfiller.com/reference/javafxscript/
Which has a full page of examples on how to use the keyword assert.
So I tried this in netbeans:
package javafxapplication19;
assert(true);
But this will not compile either with Netbeans 6.8 or javafxc 1.2.3.
Question is where can I get a list of javafx keywords on the net?
And what am I doing wrong with my simple javafx program?

Ah, openjfx is back up. The [language reference|http://openjfx.java.sun.com/current-build/doc/reference/apas01.html] has this list of reserved words:
{noformat}abstract after and as assert at attribute before bind bound break{noformat}
{noformat}catch class continue def delete else exclusive extends false finally{noformat}
{noformat}first for from function if import indexof in init insert instanceof into{noformat}
{noformat}inverse last lazy mixin mod new not null on or override package{noformat}
{noformat}postinit private protected public-init public public-read replace return{noformat}
{noformat}reverse sizeof static step super then this throw trigger true try tween{noformat}
{noformat}typeof var where while with{noformat}
Hm, seems somewhat out of date.
Good point about the difference between "reserved words" and keywords that are
not reserved. I didn't know about this. However, the file {color:#ff00ff}v4Parser.g{color} right
next to the file {color:#ff00ff}v4Lexer.g{color} I referenced above has a nice explanation of
the difference between reserved words and non-reserved keywords. As usual, the
source code seems to be the definitive documentation.
Note, you can still use the double angle bracket syntax to use even reserved words as identifiers,
for example, {color:#ff00ff}var <<typeof>> = 1{color}. Why anyone would want to do this, I'm not sure.
I still don't know what {color:#ff00ff}typeof{color} does. Yes, {color:#ff00ff}invalidate{color} was added after 1.2. I'm
not sure what its status is though. Not that I'm trying to keep secrets. If it's merely
experimental, though, I wouldn't want to encourage people to use it. Sufficiently motivated
individuals are welcome to look through the source code. :-)
