[Soot-list] Fwd: Re: [Jastadd] Configurable Front-End?

[Marc-Andre Laverdiere-Papineau]

Hello,

Migrating our Java front-end will be non-trivial if we want an option to 
work at different compatibility levels. I personally suggest to keep 
things simple and have only the JastAddJ Java 7 front-end.
It should be backward compatible with Java 1.4 and 5 anyways, so why 
give ourselves more work?

Unfortunately there is no such option in JastAddJ.

I suppose it would be possible to build the three versions of JastAddJ
using different main classes and then invoke the correct main method
depending on which compatibility level is required.
