Error while running BasicSetupExample

[Vinayak Sharma]

I am encountering the following error while running the BasicSetupExample:
Command used:

mvn clean compile

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project sootup.examples: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

One of the above error is originating from:

cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method create(java.nio.file.Path,<nulltype>)
  location: class sootup.java.bytecode.inputlocation.PathBasedAnalysisInputLocation

I am not sure if it is due to my setup or problem with the project itself.

The issue was resolved after changing this line:
https://github.com/soot-oss/SootUp-Examples/blob/main/BasicSetupExample/pom.xml#L16
from:

<parent>
        <groupId>org.soot-oss</groupId>
        <artifactId>sootup</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

to:

<parent>
        <groupId>org.soot-oss</groupId>
        <artifactId>sootup</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

As 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT is the current version which has the create method under sootup.java.bytecode.inputlocation.PathBasedAnalysisInputLocation and not 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT.

If required I can make a PR for it.
