[Soot-list] Soot not running on Eclipse Kepler Mac OS X Yosemite

[Suvam Mukherjee]

Hi,
I am trying to set up the Soot Eclipse plugin. I am using Eclipse Kepler, Java version 1.8.0_40, on Mac OS X Yosemite. The Eclipse plugin installation was successful, and Java is running fine too.
However, when I am trying to generate a Jimple representation from a Java source file (Right click -> Soot -> Process Source File -> Create Jimple), I am getting the following error:
Starting from Soot's class library:

The file I am trying to analyze is:

 package testFiles;


public class Test1 {


	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
		System.out.println("\nHello World!");


	}


}

I really need to get Soot running on my machine, and would appreciate some help here. Why am I getting an InvocationTargetException?
Thanking you,
Sincerely,
Suvam Mukherjee.
