Thanks to all for initial reviews; however, it appears that the version you saw was somewhat stale. I've applied your comments (and some changes that I'd made since the version that was posted).

Please take a second look.

Thanks, Eric

Hello Eric,

You must have missed my comment from the previous webrev: 292 private Parameter[] privateGetParameters() { 293 if (null != parameters) 294 return parameters.get(); If/when the 'parameters' SoftReference is cleared, the method will be returning null forever after... You should also retrieve the referent and check for it's presence before returning it: Parameter[] res; if (parameters != null && (res = parameters.get()) != null) return res; ... ...

Please review the core reflection API implementation of parameter reflection. This is the final component of method parameter reflection. This was posted for review before, then delayed until the check-in for JDK-8004728 (hotspot support for parameter reflection), which occurred yesterday. Note: The check-in of JDK-8004728 was into hsx/hotspot-rt, not jdk8/tl; therefore, it may be a while before the changeset makes its way into jdk8/tl. Also note: since the check-in of JDK-8004727 (javac support for parameter reflection), there has been a failure in the tests for Pack200. This is being addressed in a fix contributed by Kumar, which I believe has also been posted for review. The open webrev is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coleenp/JDK-8004729 The feature request is here: http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=8004729 The latest version of the spec can be found here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~abuckley/8misc.pdf

Thanks, Eric
