Both.  It clearly doesn't work, so it's a bug, but at the same time the
method is hardcoded to always to return null, so it's missing code instead
of non-working code.  I suppose it should throw an Exception instead of
failing silently, but getting it to work can't be that hard.

I've made implemented this method in the newly released 8.1dev-400 build.

Hello Kris,

I have rerun my test using the newly released 8.1dev-400 build and
ParameterMetaData.getParameterClassName() now returns a valid class.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Bruce.
