[Soot-list] OpenJDK Update Breaks Analyses

[Marc-Andre Laverdiere-Papineau]

Hello people,

I wanted to give that information to others, with the hope I'll save 
some hair pulling ;)

I'm pasting the exception below. But note that if this happens for you 
as well, you can switch to Oracle's JDK and it stops happening.

Anybody knows how to make Soot resilient against that kind of stuff???

That is the exception.
Exception in thread "main"
