[Soot-list] How to set -process-dir and -cp correctly in this case? I got the error: class small.DataClass read in from a classfile in which DataClass was expected.

[Guru Devanla]

I think you also need to use -no-bodies-for-excluded.  I have seen excluded
packages being touched for different analysis when I just use the -x option.

Hope that helps.
