Hi John.
My apologies - apparently this is harder than it should be. I have
made some changes to Soot, which should eliminate the problem. Please
set your custom entry points using Scene.v().setEntryPoints(...). Make
sure to provide an exhaustive list because this will cause Soot to
ignore all default entry points.
We are currently experiencing a problem with our build server but
hopefully this will be fixed tomorrow and a new nightly build will
appear here:
http://vandyk.st.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/abc/
The version in SVN is fixed already.
Eric
