Hi, you have to make sure that the Flink classes are contained in your class path. Either add the flink-dist jar from the binary distribution to your class path, or use maven to build the backend.jar as a fat jar.
Why are you generating a java class from your dataflows? Isn't it easier to just call the Flink APIs when parsing your flow description language?
