instance from Lookup object

Question

If you have an arbitrary Lookup object (generated from invokedynamic bootstrap), is it possible to get an instance from the class performing the lookup?

There is a Method "lookupClass" available for Lookup objects, but that only returns a Class object.

Lets say I have a Class Car for example, which generates a Lookup object. How can i get an instance of that class?

Thanks.

Found a solution :)

If you have a lookup object caller, then you can get the instance of the class performing the lookup with the following line:

Class.forName(caller.lookupClass().getCanonicalName()).newInstance();
