[Soot-list] how to checkout soot and its android package

[Marc-André Laverdière-Papineau]

Hello,

You just need to use the develop branch and the 'soot' project. It has
the required Eclipse metadata files. Note that it has dependencies on
Jasmin too, so you may need to clone that.

As for Android support, have you looked at the projects related to
FlowDroid?
