[Soot-list] Building a call graph for a class that has no main

Hi Eric,
still no luck.
I have the following code:
public class CallGraphExample{		public static void main(String[] args) {		// create a list from args	   List<String> argsList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(args));	   	   // add on the following arguments	   argsList.addAll(Arrays.asList(new String[]{			   "-w",			   "testers.CallGraphs"	   }));	   	   // PackManager manages the packs containing the various phases and their options	   PackManager.v().getPack("wjtp").add(new Transform("wjtp.myTrans", new SceneTransformer() {		@Override		protected void internalTransform(String phaseName, Map options) {		       CHATransformer.v().transform();               SootClass a = Scene.v().getSootClass("testers.CallGraphs");                              SootMethod m = a.getMethodByName("doStuff");               ArrayList<SootMethod> entryPoints = new ArrayList<SootMethod>();               entryPoints.add(m);               Scene.v().setEntryPoints(entryPoints);               		       SootMethod src = Scene.v().getMainClass().getMethodByName("doStuff");		       CallGraph cg = Scene.v().getCallGraph();				       Iterator<MethodOrMethodContext> targets = new Targets(cg.edgesOutOf(src));		       while (targets.hasNext()) {		           SootMethod tgt = (SootMethod)targets.next();		           System.out.println(src + " may call " + tgt);		       }		}	   }));	   	          args = argsList.toArray(new String[0]);       soot.Main.main(args);	}}
and I still get the same exception
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: There is no main class set!"
The application class is:
package testers;
public class CallGraphs{	public static void doStuff() {		StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder("Blah");		b.append(" Blah");		new A().foo();	}}
class A{	public void foo() {		bar();	}		public void bar() {	}}
If I try and set the entry points, just before the call 'soot.Main.main(args), using the following pieceof code:
               SootClass a = Scene.v().getSootClass("testers.CallGraphs");                              SootMethod m = a.getMethodByName("doStuff");               ArrayList<SootMethod> entryPoints = new ArrayList<SootMethod>();               entryPoints.add(m);               Scene.v().setEntryPoints(entryPoints);
I get a runtime exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Aborting: can't find classfile testers.CallGraphs
Could you maybe try it out and see if you have the same issue?Thanks indeed for all your help,JD
