Hi there, folks. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find any good explanation so far.

I have the following code, a plain and simple HelloWorld:

ClassPool pool = ClassPool.getDefault();
CtClass cc = pool.makeClass("HelloWorld");
CtMethod mt = CtNewMethod.make("public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(\"Hello World!\"); }", cc);
cc.addMethod(mt);
cc.writeFile();

As you see, there's a main method in this new generated class. So far, so good. It works like a charm.

I'd like to create this very same method using the other way:

CtClass cc = pool.makeClass("HelloWorld");
CtMethod m = new CtMethod(CtClass.voidType, "main", new CtClass[] { } , cc);
m.setModifiers(Modifier.PUBLIC & Modifier.STATIC);
cc.addMethod(m);
m.setBody("{ System.out.println(\"Hello World!\"); }");
cc.setModifiers(cc.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.ABSTRACT);
cc.writeFile();

Unfortunately, this code fails. I couldn't figure out how I'm supposed to handle String args[] with CtClass.TYPE, as it seems there are only primitive types.

Thanks a lot!
