title: Kotlin inline extension function on an imported java class
body: <p>I have a backend Springboot kotlin project built with gradle. I'm importing a number of java libraries. My target JVM is 11</p>
  <p>I tried to write an inline reified extension function for one of the imported classes and got a compiler error &quot;Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 11 into bytecode that is being built with JVM target 1.8&quot;</p>
  <p>Am I correct in understanding that the imported jar was built with JVM 1.8 and there isn't much I can do here?</p>
