[Soot-list] loading class files with Soot in abc

[Oege de Moor]

The exact behaviour is dictated by the use of abc's inpath
option:

abc -inpath dir1 -sourceroots dir2

should read only class files from dir1, whereas we read java files
from dir2. So as I said in my original post, this particular
call to

soot.SourceLocator.v().getClassesUnder(jar);

should pick up only class files. There is another call to the
same method from within abc that should pick up only classes
stored in a jar file.

All java inputs in abc have to be piped through our
frontend: abc never uses soot to read *.java or *.aj files.
So on reflection, it may well be that we can just tell Soot
never to read *.java when used from abc.
