[Soot-list] Issue instrumenting java 8 bytecode

[Marc Miltenberger]

Hi,
 the ASM version in soot, which is used to read in Java source code, is
afaik not (fully?) compatible with Java 8 at the moment.
 Compile your source files using your favorite Java compiler and try to
use the resulting class files as input for soot instead.
