[Soot-list] Private methods are not being

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Clarissa.

In your code, who is calling those private methods? To me it seems
that they are never actually called. For instance, who is calling
initComponents, who is calling jButton1?

If those methods are not called then it's only natural that there are
no call edges...
