I'm not an oracle (haha) to know the future, I hope it will happen in
some form. Or someone else, not related to rxjava could do it, it might
become popular and JAX-RS users would include it in their projects.
Anyway, if there is a question on Jersey user list and Jersey doesn't
provide it (and I know about 3rd party compatible extension), I have no
issue with recommending that.

and where is the problem? Do you expect that module with rx invoker
provider, which is part of CXF, won't work when used with other
implementation? If the interface implementation is written properly and
there are no casts to implementation specific classes, it shouldn't matter.

Mine issue with this is that you usually dont want to do
rx(CompletionStage.class). You most likely want
rx(CompletionStage<List<String>>.class), which is not valid Java syntax.
And I must admit I don't like GenericType and I'll be always trying to
find an alternative which won't force that.
