[Soot-list] Running SOOT on eclipse plugins

[Eric Bodden]

Yes, I can see that being a problem. The Ecipse plugin is currently not very
flexible when it comes to non-default classpaths etc. I suggest analyzing
the plugin by using Soot as a command-line tool. That should give you more
flexibility to specify the source folders correctly.
