GluonVM - Functionality that is missing. - JDK8 JVM_GetMethodParameters

[juan-fuentes]

Background of the issue
I discovered this problem when using Jackson to generate JSON from an immutable object.

Jackson can be used without annotations to create immutable objects, given that it can discover the parameter names of the constructor.

This feature was an addition from JDK8.

Workaround
Instead of using automatic discovery of parameter names is possible to instead use the java.beans.ConstructorProperties annotation.

This interface is a phantom class but can be added without any other dependency to the gluon project.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new single view application template using GluonVM.
2. Replace the default single view application GluonApplication.java class by the one provided as attachment. GluonApplication.txt
3. You should get the stacktrace below.
