Yes. 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
