<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I might have forgotten to mention it, but "myJavaProject" contains both source and bytecode. Therefore, it worked anyways.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So my next step is to generate a CFG. Since that I wanted a CFG output of "myJavaProject", having a .DOT output would be nice. On the phase option list, it looks like to get a .DOT control-flow graph "wjap.purity" is the only option. When
I give the following command below, unfortunately I don't get any .DOT file. Or maybe I am using the wrong phaseName to generate a CFG of "myJavaProject"?<o:p></o:p></p>
