[Soot-list] Possible to run Soot analysing Java library?

[Yi Lin]

Hi,

I am writing a Java(restricted)-to-native compiler. I am trying to use 
Soot as parser, and generating code from its Jimple AST.

So one step is that I will need the Java library (though a small part of 
it) in native code. One choice for me is to write the library in Java 
and use the same compiler to get its native code, which requires Soot 
being able to parse library source files. That is why I am asking 
whether it is possible to run Soon on the library. If we can, that will 
make my life much easier. Otherwise, I will hvae to hand code the 
library in native code.

Regards,
Yi
