Can I use Soot to find potential execution paths and resource usages given a starting class or method?

Question

Can I use the Soot framework to perform, at the Ubuntu command line, analyses on Java source code such as

Find all socket usages or disk writes that may result from executing this method or Find all disk writes potentially generated by the implementation of this class ?

Answer 1
