A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javadoc for Executable#getParameterAnnotations states that "Synthetic and mandated parameters (see explanation below), such as the outer "this" parameter to an inner class constructor will be represented in the returned array."
This is not true for the Constructor implementation.

And it breaks the Parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations call - it returns annotations of the next parameter and fails with index error on last parameter.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the provided source code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
annotations = []
annotations = []
annotations = [@Scratch$Ann()]


parameter = Scratch arg0
parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations() = []

parameter = java.lang.String arg1
parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations() = []

parameter = java.lang.String arg2
parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations() = [@Scratch$Ann()]

ACTUAL -
annotations = []
annotations = [@Scratch$Ann()]


parameter = Scratch arg0
parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations() = []

parameter = java.lang.String arg1
parameter.getDeclaredAnnotations() = [@Scratch$Ann()]

parameter = java.lang.String arg2

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
When working with Parameter arrays you can check if `parameter.getDeclaringExecutable().getDeclaringClass().getEnclosingClass() != null` and get annotations 'from previous parameter' accordingly.
