This is a design/spec question, so should be discussed on enhanced-metadata-spec-discuss, not core-libs-dev.

The current version of the spec for parameter reflection, found here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~abuckley/8misc.pdf states that if a parameter has no name, then the reflection API should synthesize a name of the form "argN", where N is the index of the parameter. It also states that if a MethodParameters attribute has a name index of 0, then it indicates a parameter with no name. The question I have is, what if a MethodParameters attribute indicates a name of "" (meaning, the empty string)? Does this count as a valid name, or should it be treated as a parameter with no name?
It is probably also worth thinking about invalid parameter names, for example "10", "", "+", " ", other whitespace characters, and so on.
