Description
Invoking methods such as

Alert.inform(title, message);

has no effect on Mac OS 10.6.7. Nothing happens and no exceptions are thrown.
Comments
The Alert class has been removed in our upcoming beta release since it was not functional. We have an existing JIRA filed to make it available in a subsequent beta release, but I don't know whether it is a committed feature.
