Toggle on the Highlight Occurrences feature for the editor, then put the 
cursor on any part of the parameter name that you're interested in. It 
also works for other elements of code like methods, fields, exceptions, 
return values, classes, etc.
The Highlight Occurrences feature is available via a toggle button on 
the toolbar above the Java editor - icon looks like a yellow highlighter 
pen.

Hope this helps,
