The current fallback (using the debug information) isn’t JDK-API-level introspection, it involves parsing the classfile. That's what they are talking about dropping, as I understand it.

I guess -parameters puts the information somewhere that there’s JDK API to access without grepping around in the classfiles.

Unfortunately I (almost certainly) won’t be around for the call, that’s the reason I raised a detailed ticket.

As to “move away from constructors”, I guess I understand why you’d say that but (a) it’s hard to do that 100% and (b) that direction means moving away from immutable objects (e.g., losing the ability to have a bean which is a record ) and makes it harder to do nullability checks. It may solve one problem, but it introduces its own.
