Failed to load java.lang.CharSequence error

Question

I tried to run this command using Java version 8 on windows.

java -cp soot.jar soot.Main -cp ".;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151\lib\rt.jar" Example_4

I keep getting: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Error: Failed to load java.lang.CharSequence. This happens only when I have lines like System.out.print as part of my source code. Otherwise it works fine.

Source code

package ExampleCodes;

public class Example_4
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     int a = 10;

     a++;

    if(a<10)
        a--;
    else
        a++;
    int b = a + a;
    System.out.println(a);
  }
}

please use Soot to analyze *.class files directly (recommended, since java frontend of soot is outdated), or degrade your JDK to 7.

In order to resolve the call to System.out.println Soot needs to resolve all of the basic Java classes that it depends on, including CharSequence.

You can use the -pp option instead of passing your rt.jar in the -cp. Soot will then automatically retrieve rt.jar from the Java installation on your machine.
