[Soot-list] outlining code

[Eric Bodden]

Hello Christophe.

Indeed I don't know of any such support within Soot itself. However,
there is a JastAdd "Refactoring" extension that builds on top of Soot
and actually supports an extract-method refactoring. It performs
exactly ehe analysis you are looking for, on Jimple.

There's documentation here: http://jastadd.org/refactoring-tools
However I recommend using the latest version from the JastAdd SVN
repository. I used the extension myself and the developer Max Schäfer
was very helpful in helping me getting it to work for my purposes.
