[Soot-list] generating java code for generating jimple?

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Lonnie.

I am not currently aware of such a tool for Jimple. I think this would
be great to have, though. Obviously the input would have to be Jimple
code then, not bytecode. I will try to advertise this as a Bachelors
thesis project. Maybe we will have it in the future, then...

The best solution for now would be to look at the javaToJimple code
within Soot itself or at the JastAdd-generated code in Soot"s Java 5
frontend.
