[Soot-list] Source code of a given SootMethod

[Eric Bodden]

Hi, Mario.

Soot puts tags on the statements in the SootMethod, indicating where
their source came from. (see Stmt.getTag(..)) Using those tags you can
then retrieve the source location and read in the file if you like.
Soot has no built-in support for that.
