[Soot-list] Possible to use SootClass object outside of transform() ?

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Joe.

I have never tried to add functionality after main(..) has completed
running. I am sure it can be done but it could be painful. What
exactly are you trying to achieve? Why can't you run your code from
within the control flow of Soot's main method?
