There was a prototypical implementation using byte code analysis to automatically annotate UDFs (constant fields etc.). As Robert pointed out though, the used library (called soot) is incompatible with the Apache license. :( I think we have two options if we want to pursue this further: 1) Use soot with a custom build of Flink, so that we don't ship the code, or 2) Look into other (compatible) libraries for this
