Number of formal parameters of anonymous class constructor

[konstantin barzilovich]

Hello Dan,

In chapter 15.9.5.1 in JLS signature of anonymous constructor is described.
In case S is inner non-static class (see the minimal example)

class Outer {
     public Outer() {}
     class A  {
         public A() {}
     }
     public void foo(){
         A a =new Outer().new A(){};
     }
}

we expect to have one formal parameter of type Outer according to 
jls-15.9.5.1-100-B and jls-15.9.5.1-100-B.1.
But I try to get parameters of constructor via reflection and it has two 
parameters both of type Outer.
I guess, the second one is a receiver parameter, but it isn't mentioned 
in jls-15.9.5.1-100-B.1.
Could you please clarify this situation?

Thanks,
Konstantin.
