[Soot-list] Adding a Custom Classloader to Soot

[Marc-André Laverdière]

Hallo Sebastian,

Are you talking about overriding where/how Soot loads class definitions,
or just using a new Java ClassLoader?
I am going to assume the former. I have an interest on the matter, due
to a need (on the back-burner) to deal with scopes, something that is
useful when dealing with JEE.

A simple solution that works for some use cases, which I'm using, is to
generate/copy the class definitions to a folder (which was empty, but on
the soot class path), and then using Scene.v().forceResolve(...). Maybe
this would work for you.

Otherwise, you would have to modify the code. The starting point for
your discovery is soot.coffi.Util.v().resolveFromClassFile. Enjoy :)
