It seems I was too hasty in stating this - I don't think I can work
around it easily.

What I want to do is insert code at the beginning of a method. But if
a try block starts at the first statement in the original code, then
my inserted code also ends up inside of the try block. I want to
insert my code before the try block / move the try block back to the
first statement of the original code. Can anyone give me a
recommendation how I can accomplish that in Jimple?

Thanks!
