[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.

Hi Khanh,

I looked at the current version of Soot. I think the problem is in

PackManager.runPacksForOneClassAtATime().  This methods loops through all
files it files under -process-dir and *does not check/respect*  attributes
set with -x option.

The looping structure in that method can have a conditional check to see if
the class being processed is part of the excluded package.

Eric et all: So, is it okay to exclude classes at this method level. Does
anyone see any incompatibility issues with excluded class under process-dir
not being part of application class list?

Thanks
Guru
