[Soot-list] No active body

[Ondrej Lhotak]

The loadClassAndSupport() method only "resolves" the class, in that it
only creates the skeleton for the class, listing its fields and methods,
but it does not load the code of the actual methods. To read the code of
a method and build the Jimple body for it, use the retrieveActiveBody()
method on each SootMethod.
