    @StephanEwen 
    As said above am not sure how to use the japicmp library. I can see that from the IDE am not able to use any of the APIs provided from the library. May be am missing something?
    Also reading the docs of japicmp it says how to pass two different versions of a jar file and see what are the public interface differences. So am not sure how japicmp internally does it.
    Do you have an problem in adding this RUN_TIME annotation?  I think it helps in adding plain java reflection based utils to idenfity classes/interfaces missing them. 
    I can update my PR based on your thoughts on jaipcmp usage.

> It is better to add RUNTIME retention policy to flink annotations. So that utilites/tests can be added to ensure if the classes/interfaces are all tagged with proper annotations.
