Personally I would say that when looking at the demand updating
Concurrency should be a no-brainer. Java SE 8 support, portable
resource definitions and the long running theme of retrofitting EJB as
a set of CDI based annotations and Interceptors all sound very useful
to me and are things that I personally think would have a broad
support among users.
Things like @Asynchronous are clearly appreciated by users, but it
only being available for EJB beans is a limitation that should not be
necessary anymore. Same for the other annotations Antonio mentioned.
Kind regards,
Arjan
