I'm not sure what dependencies you actually mean?
I assume you mean "hard-coded" classpath entries in the class
"Scene.java" in the method "defaultJavaClassPath()".
The "rt.jar" and "jce.jar" are only added to the classpath if you
activate option "-pp" (Prepend the given soot classpath to the default
classpath).

If you execute soot-j9 as described in the README.md (https://github.co
m/Sable/soot/tree/java9)
"rt.jar" is never added to the classpath.
In fact "rt.jar" and "jce.jar" should never be added to the classpath
automatically if you specify an own classpath with the option "-cp" and
do not activate the option "-pp".

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
