Hi Martin.

Yes you can just instantiate SmartLocalDefs:
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/doc/soot/toolkits/scalar/SmartLocalDefs.html

You can run Soot on source code or bytecode. All of Soot"s analyses
run on an intermediate representation called Jimple, which Soot
creates from either source or bytecode.

You can get started quite quickly with Soot if you use the Eclipse
plugin.  This plugin can generate some example stubs for you. Seee
