Hi David
Thank you for your interest in this plug-in. I am sorry that this piece of free-to-use software I developed does not live up to your expectations. Please note that I am very eager to receive recommendations of what I should be doing in my spare time and will gladly update the status of dead projects on a daily basis. Yes, this project is dead. I have put many weeks of my life into this plug-in, but ultimately Signal removed support for this kind of shenanigans. Please see this comment for a more detailed description.
As for the missing build instructions: I answered the question in #2. For your convenience, I updated the readme so the instructions can be found more easily.
To the issue itself:
bad class file: (…) class file has wrong version 55.0, should be 52.0
According to the class File Format, you are trying to load a Java 11 class file into a Java 8 VM. Java 8 is too old for signal-cli. The most recent version even needs Java 17.
Kind Regards Hermann
Even over a year later INSTALL.md has incomplete instructions but some days after trying I looked here, found issue where instructions are. On Slackware64 15.1+current w/jdk11-11.0.14-x86_64-1_SB the below happens.
