That's odd. I suspect some setup problem. Maybe you should run abc
directly from the command line...

java abc.main.Main <commandLine>

Apparently you provided an incorrect classpath.

That's impossible. Abc comprises a full installation of Soot.

I don't think you need to reinstall anything. You just need to learn
to understand how to configure java applications like Soot/abc and run
them.

I think this can be ignored.



Ideally you would have a setup where you run abc directly from within
Eclipse or you favorite IDE. That's how I debug abc. When doing so you
can set breakpoints into the actual pointcut-matching machinery and
just *observe* why it does not match. It should be simple to set up -
just define an appropriate run configuration.
