[Soot-list] Requiring main method for doing inter-procedural analysis Heros/Soot

[Bodden, Eric]

Hello.

Yes, this is possible as documented here:
http://www.bodden.de/2012/07/26/soot-custom-entry-points/

The API is not great but it works ;-)

@Mustafa: We should add this documentation to the wiki.

Best wishes,
Eric

While I do understand this helps build the graph for the ensuing analysis, isn't there a way to start from different points if a 'main' method is not available.  I am wondering if this is somehow intractable and if any solutions exist.
