[Soot-list] Soot handling java source files 1.8

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Henrique.

We support up to the latest Java version in *bytecode* now, but I am afraid that the source code parser is not very reliable, and I am sure it won’t work with Java 1.8. Would you be able to compile the projects to bytecode and analyse this bytecode instead?

Cheers
Eric

That said, I was wondering if soot can convert or process the 1.8 source file and generates one [using the -f option] with its erasure or something compatible to Java 1.4... I'm working with a tool that perform some analysis on source code but only works until java 1.4. If I could translate the input 1.8 to 1.4 I could work with that tool...
