I am 100% against MVC in JAX-RS. Are we really going to introduce a
legacy and now defunct pattern to JAX-RS? The trend and future is
Angular JS or GWT apps with simple RESTful back ends.
This is wrong guys. You will regret adding and it will end up on the
long list of Java EE features that nobody uses and bloat we'll have to
support.
SSE and now MVC, I'm really disappointed in the direction of JAX-RS.
