    Hi @rmetzger, do you want to give it another look and check if it does what you intended with FLINK-2017?

>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> In FLINK-1525 we've added the {{ParameterTool}}.
> During the PR review, there was a request for required parameters.
> This issue is about implementing a facility to define required parameters. The tool should also be able to print a help menu with a list of all parameters.
> This test case shows my initial ideas how to design the API
> {code}
> 	@Test
> 	public void requiredParameters() {
> 		RequiredParameters required = new RequiredParameters();
> 		Option input = required.add("input").alt("i").help("Path to input file or directory"); // parameter with long and short variant
> 		required.add("output"); // parameter only with long variant
> 		Option parallelism = required.add("parallelism").alt("p").type(Integer.class); // parameter with type
> 		Option spOption = required.add("sourceParallelism").alt("sp").defaultValue(12).help("Number specifying the number of parallel data source instances"); // parameter with default value, specifying the type.
> 		Option executionType = required.add("executionType").alt("et").defaultValue("pipelined").choices("pipelined", "batch");
> 		ParameterUtil parameter = ParameterUtil.fromArgs(new String[]{"-i", "someinput", "--output", "someout", "-p", "15"});
> 		required.check(parameter);
> 		required.printHelp();
> 		required.checkAndPopulate(parameter);
> 		String inputString = input.get();
> 		int par = parallelism.getInteger();
> 		String output = parameter.get("output");
> 		int sourcePar = parameter.getInteger(spOption.getName());
> 	}
