[Soot-list] How to convert Jimple to Java Source Code

[Barthelemy Dagenais]

Hi Fayezin,

I ran into the same problem one year ago or so.

You have basically two options:

1- You can convert jimple to java using Dava (use Soot with -src-pref jimple -f 
dava).

2- When using Indus/Soot, ensure that line numbers are preserved in the jimple 
output (e.g. with the -keep-line-number option). Then, if you have access to the 
original java source file, you can create an /imperfect/ mapping between the 
sliced jimple files and the original java files. This is certainly not 
sufficient to produce compilable java, but this might be better for program 
understanding than Dava. I think this is still the solution used by Kaveri 
(Eclipse Indus plug-in) to highlight the sliced lines in the java editor.

I can elaborate more on the issues encountered with the second option if you 
choose this path.
