[Soot-list] Can I use soot with jdk 1.5's generic feature

[Prof. Laurie HENDREN]

Hi Jung-joon,

If I understand correctly, you are only proposing using jdk 1.5 for
building an application with Soot - but you are going to use this
application to analyze pre 1.5 classes.     I don't see any problem
doing this,  just make sure you use appropriate classpaths.   You don't
want your soot application to analyze the jdk 1.5 standard library,   but
rather the library matching the classes you are analyzing.

Cheers, Laurie
