[Soot-list] Print Statements from Custom Flow Analysis Not Appearing

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Josh.

I think the problem is that you may not use System.out. Instead you
must use G.v().out as the output stream. When you use this stream
within Eclipse, things will be printed to the Eclipse console. When
you use the same stream while running Soot from the command line then
your output will be printed there.
