[Soot-list] Exception while running

[Patrick Lam]

Hi Zeinab,

I'm going to point out that it's not actually Soot-related or 
static-analysis-related problems that you seem to be experiencing, but 
rather problems with using (research) software systems and with asking 
for help.

As someone else has pointed out, it's mandatory to include maximal 
details on the question that you may be asking. Put yourself in the 
place of the person who is trying to answer your question and ask 
yourself if you've included enough details that someone else could 
possibly answer the question based on what you've included. Often, the 
answer to that question has been "no".
