[Soot-list] Trying to do getClass() on a static method...need to implement inner classes

I guess you are right. I forgot that in Java you can actually
inherit static methods. (I wonder if people actually use this
feature.) Yes in that case I also cannot think of another simple way
to solve this.

Regarding your original question: can you please use the flags "-f
jasmin" to Soot? This will output the classes as .jasmin files. Then
please check if the jasmin file for your class contains appropriate
inner-class attributes. If it does not, then we know that something is
wrong with the attribute generation.
