[Soot-list] Updating a class in the Scene without running Soot again

[Eric Bodden]

Hello.

Unfortunately, Soot does not currently support updating analyses after
such "incremental" changes. (But I have considered doing some work on
this, actually.) So what you suggested (re-running the call-graph
construction, etc.) is the only solution for now, I am afraid.
Incremental analyses are extremely hard to design and would require
significant changes to the way in which Soot works.
