There is another thing that has been a constant source of bugs for me.
Soot uses it's own classpath that does not need to be the same has the
environment one. 

To avoid this

At the beginning of each of my programs, I do

      ca.mcgill.sable.soot.Main.sootClassPath = 
	java.lang.System.getProperty("java.class.path");

Then, to check when weird stuff happens, I do

      java.lang.System.out.println("Classpath: " +
	ca.mcgill.sable.soot.Main.sootClassPath);

This way both classpaths are the same and I do not need to recompile to
change them.


Good luck
