[Soot-list] Use Soot to parse annotations stored in bytecodes

[Billy Mosse]

Hello Xinxin and Bernhard, how are you? It is not working for me; I have 
included the calls:


sootOpt.set_xml_attributes(true);
sootOpt.print_tags_in_output();

before calling soot, but when I try getting the tags of a method they don't 
appear. Does anyone of you have a minimal working example by any chance?
Thanks!
Billy
