[Soot-list] "Error: ... read in from a classfile in which ... was expected"

[Alexandre Bartel]

Hi Mayank,

You should give the /path/to/fluent-hc.target.test-classes/ to the 
-process-dir option. From the error message I guess you give the path
to the directory containing "fluent-hc.target.test-classes"? In that
case Soot interprets "fluent-hc.target.test-classes" as a package name
which is probably not what you want.

Best regards,
Alexandre
