# Some commands from using Soot on the command-line

# First, put the Soot jars on your Java CLASSPATH (preferrably through .bashrc or .zshrc)
export SOOTJAR=path/to/sootclasses-2.5.0.jar
export JASMINJAR=path/to/jasminclasses-2.5.0.jar
export POLYGLOTJAR=path/to/polyglotclasses-1.3.5.jar
export CLASSPATH=$SOOTJAR:$JASMINJAR:$POLYGLOTJAR:$CLASSPATH

# Using Soot to compile a single Java file:
# +-project/
#   +-Example.java
cd project
java soot.Main -cp . -pp Example
# Example.java is compiled to sootOutput

# Using Soot to compile a single Java file in a package:
# +-project/
#   +-mypkg/
#     +-Example.java
cd project
java soot.Main -cp . -pp mypkg.Example
# mypkg/Example.java is compiled to sootOutput/mypkg

# Using Soot to compile a simple project:
# +-project/
#   +-Example.java // contains the main
#   +-Extras.java
#   +-stuff/
#    +-Hello.java
cd project
java soot.Main -cp . -pp -process-dir .
# everything is compiled to ./sootOutput

# Using Soot to compile a simple project that depends on jars:
# +-project/
#   +-Example.java // contains the main
#   +-Extras.java
#   +-stuff/
#   | +-Hello.java
#   +-lib/
#     +-mylib.jar
cd project
java soot.Main -cp .:lib/mylib.jar -pp -process-dir .
# everything is compiled to ./sootOutput
