This bug, and the corresponding CSR which authorized automatic 
generation of MethodParameters (JDK-8292467), would be much easier to 
comprehend if they stated clearly that:

   Parameter names are _not_ included in the generated attribute.
   It continues to be necessary to specify -parameters at compile time
   to generate MethodParameters attributes with parameter names.
