Nice feature Matthias!
My suggestion is to create a specific Flink interface to get also
description of a job and standardize parameter passing.
Then, somewhere (e.g. Manifest) you could specify the list of packages (or
also directly the classes) to inspect with reflection to extract the list
of available Flink jobs.
Something like:

public interface FlinkJob {

/** The name to display in the job submission UI or shell */
//e.g. "My Flink HelloWorld"
String getDisplayName();
 //e.g. "This program does this and that etc.."
String getDescription();
 //e.g. <0,Integer,"An integer representing my first param">, <1,String,"An
string representing my second param">
List<Tuple3<Integer, TypeInfo, String>> paramDescription;
 /** Set up the flink job in the passed ExecutionEnvironment */
ExecutionEnvironment config(ExecutionEnvironment env);
}

What do you think?
