Thanks for the advice Eric,

I'm using a similar approach, so it's nice to know I'm on the right track.
I'll take a closer look at the call graph package, and hopefully that'll
solve my problems.

Thanks

Andy

Just our of curiosity: The class file definition seems to have the souce
code location embedded, e.g. javap gives me "Compiled from
<nameOfSourceFile>" when I dump a class file. So is it not possible/enough
to rely on that information?
