Again, I'm strongly in favor of homogenizing asynchronous invocation. As a
developper I would like to use @Asynchronous on a Bean, an EJB, a REST
endpoint.... Why not having a common javax.annotation.Asynchronous
annotation and it would be implemented per spec.
The others (@Schedule, @Lock...) would be *very* nice to have, but it looks
like the different EG are not formed or willing to move on. At least, we
should aim to homogenizing asynchronous invocations.
