Hi Raffi,
Soot's frontend for Java source code is fairly outdated at the moment. We are \
currently looking for students to update it to support newer Java versions. At the \
moment, I would recommend to use the bytecode frontend whenever possible.
The bytecode frontend should work with Java 8 as long as it does not contain some \
really specific invokedynamic behaviors or the like. Just give it a try, chances are \
that it works just fine.
Best regards,
Steven

Betreff: [Soot-list] Java 8 support status
Dear Soot community,
I just wanted to inquire about the status of Soot and Java 8. I have seen a few \
issues on GitHub, as well as several email posts, but I noticed this today on the \
Soot website <http://sable.github.io/soot/> :
What input formats does Soot provide?
Currently, Soot can process code from the following sources:
• Java (bytecode and source code up to Java 7), including other languages that \
compile to Java bytecode, e.g. Scala
Does this mean that byte code is supported for all Java versions but source code is \
only supported up to Java 7? Thanks for your help!
Raffi
