```
public SynthesizingMethodParameter(Method method,
                                   int parameterIndex)
```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given method, with nesting level 1.
    Parameters:
    method - the Method to specify a parameter for
    parameterIndex - the index of the parameter: -1 for the method return type; 0 for the first method parameter; 1 for the second method parameter, etc.
  - SynthesizingMethodParameter
```
public SynthesizingMethodParameter(Method method,
                                   int parameterIndex,

```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given method.
    Parameters:
    method - the Method to specify a parameter for
    parameterIndex - the index of the parameter: -1 for the method return type; 0 for the first method parameter; 1 for the second method parameter, etc.
    nestingLevel - the nesting level of the target type (typically 1; e.g. in case of a List of Lists, 1 would indicate the nested List, whereas 2 would indicate the element of the nested List)
  - SynthesizingMethodParameter
```
public SynthesizingMethodParameter(Constructor<?> constructor,
                                   int parameterIndex)
```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given constructor, with nesting level 1.
    Parameters:
    constructor - the Constructor to specify a parameter for
    parameterIndex - the index of the parameter
  - SynthesizingMethodParameter
```
public SynthesizingMethodParameter(Constructor<?> constructor,
                                   int parameterIndex,
                                   int nestingLevel)
```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given constructor.
    Parameters:
    constructor - the Constructor to specify a parameter for
    parameterIndex - the index of the parameter

  - SynthesizingMethodParameter
```
protected SynthesizingMethodParameter(SynthesizingMethodParameter original)
```
    Copy constructor, resulting in an independent SynthesizingMethodParameter based on the same metadata and cache state that the original object was in.
    Parameters:
    original - the original SynthesizingMethodParameter object to copy from
- Method Detail
  - adaptAnnotation
```
protected <A extends Annotation> A adaptAnnotation(A annotation)
```
    Description copied from class: MethodParameter
    A template method to post-process a given annotation instance before returning it to the caller.
    The default implementation simply returns the given annotation as-is.
    Overrides:
    adaptAnnotation in class MethodParameter
    Parameters:
    annotation - the annotation about to be returned
    Returns:
    the post-processed annotation (or simply the original one)
  - adaptAnnotationArray
```
protected Annotation[] adaptAnnotationArray(Annotation[] annotations)
```
    Description copied from class: MethodParameter
    A template method to post-process a given annotation array before returning it to the caller.
    The default implementation simply returns the given annotation array as-is.
    Overrides:
    adaptAnnotationArray in class MethodParameter
    Parameters:
    annotations - the annotation array about to be returned
    Returns:
    the post-processed annotation array (or simply the original one)
  - clone
```
public SynthesizingMethodParameter clone()
```
    Overrides:
    clone in class MethodParameter
  - forExecutable
```
public static SynthesizingMethodParameter forExecutable(Executable executable,
                                                        int parameterIndex)
```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given method or constructor.
    This is a convenience factory method for scenarios where a Method or Constructor reference is treated in a generic fashion.
    Parameters:
    executable - the Method or Constructor to specify a parameter for
    parameterIndex - the index of the parameter
    Returns:
    the corresponding SynthesizingMethodParameter instance
    Since:
    5.0
  - forParameter
```
public static SynthesizingMethodParameter forParameter(Parameter parameter)
```
    Create a new SynthesizingMethodParameter for the given parameter descriptor.
    This is a convenience factory method for scenarios where a Java 8 Parameter descriptor is already available.
    Parameters:
    parameter - the parameter descriptor
    Returns:
    the corresponding SynthesizingMethodParameter instance
    Since:
    5.0
