  Description     : Java based library to access method parameter names at runtime

Paranamer is a library that allows the parameter names of non-private
methods and constructors to be accessed at runtime. Normally this
information is dropped by the compiler. With the advent of advanced
scripting languages and web action frameworks for the Java Virtual
Machine it is of increasing importance to be able to leverage a
method's parameter names.  Scripting languages like Groovy & JRuby,
web action frameworks like Waffle and VRaptor and the compelling
Grails as well as SOAP and REST designs could also benefit.

This is the reintroduction of Paranamer to Debian because it is a
dependency of Picocontainer which in turn is needed for the latest
version of Robocode, an educational Java programming game. I intend to
maintain the package as part of the Java team.
