Supported Java versions?

[xinpl]

Dear developers,

Which Java versions does Qilin currently support? Does it support Java 21?

Thanks!

Hi Xin,

You can compile Qilin with Java 21 (or any version above 16).

However, if you’re asking which version of Java binaries Qilin can analyze, currently, Qilin does not support Java 21. This is because the Soot framework, which Qilin relies on, does not yet support the latest Java versions. You may want to explore sootup.qilin, as the developers of SootUp claim that their framework supports Java 21 bytecode.
