ParameterContext encapsulates the context in which an Executable will be invoked for a given Parameter. 
A ParameterContext is used to support parameter resolution via a ParameterResolver.

Get the Parameter for this context. 
WARNING


When searching for annotations on the parameter in this context, favor isAnnotated(Class<? extends Annotation>), findAnnotation(Class<Annotation>), and findRepeatableAnnotations(Class<Annotation>) over methods in the Parameter API due to a bug in javac on JDK versions prior to JDK 9. 
See Also:
Returns:the parameter; never null

Determine if an annotation of annotationType is either present or meta-present on the Parameter for this context. 
WARNING


Favor the use of this method over directly invoking AnnotatedElement.isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation>) due to a bug in javac on JDK versions prior to JDK 9.
