Re: Eclipse plugin source

[Ondrej Lhotak <olhotak@sable.mcgill.ca>]

All the source is in the Soot distribution (in the Complete Package and
Source Only tarballs). Look in the directory
soot/eclipse/ca.mcgill.sable.soot/src.

The current interface uses XML files to communicate between Soot and
Eclipse. When executed with the -xml-attributes switch, Soot dumps all
tags to an XML file accompanying its output. Eclipse then parses the XML
files, and displays the tags with the code.

We don't encode specifically a call graph into the XML. Rather, we
encode the call graph into LinkTag's, which are special tags that show
up as clickable links in Eclipse, allowing the user to browse the call
graph. However, the LinkTag's are generic: they could be used to display
information other than the call graph.

Inside Soot, the (new) call graph generation code is in the package
soot.jimple.toolkits.callgraph.
