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

[Yi Lin]

If I use '-process-dir rt.jar', then Soot will parse rt.jar which is 
openjdk's library.
This is not what I meant. I would like to know if Soot could parse _my_ 
implementation of a Java library (part of it).

Maybe the simpler thing for me is to keep my library implementation with 
different package/class names so that Soot will definitely see it as 
normal application classes.

Regards,
Yi
