[Soot-list] pruning the CG

[Barthelemy Dagenais]

Hi Irem, you might want to look at fragment class analysis 
(http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=776816.776842) for some strategies on how 
to do this.

Basically, you need at least one entry point (e.g., a main method that 
initializes your classes and calls them). This is what fragment class analysis 
is all about. For the classes that are called but for which you don't have the 
bytecode, you can either rely on soot phantom classes (probably not recommended 
from what I recall, the option is -allow-phantom-refs) or, as you said, create 
your own dummy classes that do nothing.
