Unable to instrument class file version on Java 6 on JDK 11
See original GitHub issueJDK: 11.0.2
Byte-Buddy: 1.10.1
Trying to instrument a certain library that was compiled in Java 6, it is being shown the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot write invoke dynamic instruction for class file version Java 6
However, if I use JDK 1.7/1.8, the class is instrumented without problems.
Did I miss something to instrument these kind of classes? Thanks so very much!

I assume that you are using an advice template that uses an invokedynamic instruction, most likely a lambda expression. If your targeted class file was compiled against Java 6, it is illegal to inline such an expression into the instrumented class, no matter what JVM version you are running.
Make sure to compile your advice classes against Java 6 byte code level. That is the most universal to consider.
Fixed!
Thanks for the support!
