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;
...
...
Regards, Peter

Hello,
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/view_bug.do?bug_id=8004729
The latest version of the spec can be found here:

Thanks,
Eric
