[Soot-list] Newbie question: Getting a handle on Jimple via Java

[Eric Bodden]

Hi, Willem.

you mean you just want to produce .jimple files from .class files?
That's super easy!

Just do something like this:

java -cp sootclasses.jar soot.Main -f J MyClass

This will read MyClass.class from the current directory and produce
MyClass.jimple in the directory "sootOutput". All the command line
options are documented here:
