+ * Test driver for MethodParameters testing.
+ * <p>
+ * The intended use of this driver is to run it, giving the name of
+ * a single class compiled with -parameters as argument. The driver
+ * will test the specified class, and any nested classes it finds.
+ * <p>
+ * Each class is tested in two way. By refelction, and by directly
+ * checking MethodParameters attributes in the classfile. The checking
+ * is done using two visitor classes {@link ClassFileVisitor} and
+ * {@link ReflectionVisitor}.
+ * <p>
+ * The {@code ReflectionVisitor} test logically belongs with library tests.
+ * we wish to reuse the same test-cases, so both test are committed together,
+ * under langtools. The tests, may be duplicated in the jdk repository.
