image Hi! I'm a beginner of maven and Flowdroid. I tried to use this tool for starting research on dataflow features on android apks. However, I got error when using "mvn install", as shown in the png.

I will be grateful for any help you can provide!

The current development version of FlowDroid depends on a refactoring from the current Soot development branch. You'll need to build Soot from source as well, or use the last official FlowDroid build from Maven Central instead.

Thanks for your reply! However, I think I don't really understand what it means " build Soot from source", and which version of FlowDroid is the last one that can be built by mvn.

Before you try to build FlowDroid using, e.g., mvn package, clone the Soot repository and run mvn install on it.

It seems that soot can't be installed by mvn correctly. Is there something I haven't noticed?

Make sure that you have a JDK, not only a JVM.
