Reza/all,
One of the biggest problems with Concurrency Utilities is, that it started
in 2003, then went "dormant" (before the term existed) and was revived to
be finalized 10 years later after little or no proper alignment with then
state of the art Java EE standards and technologies. It duplicates things,
especially in EJB or CDI.
Similar to the even older JSR 107 which also has similar problems and
technical debt (as members of this and other EGs confirmed or expressed
their concern)
We can't undo many of these problems, but it seems both these "relics" need
at the very least a solid MR if not entirely new JSRs (before EE 8 wraps up
the selected features) to address their age and fit in more nicely into the
recent platform) JMS 2 did a great job in that direction and even has a new
JSR for Java EE 8.
Regards,
Werner

No objections whatsoever. I will put in the JIRAs ASAP so we can give this
the attention it deserves.

involving @Asynchronous, @Schedule and many others. Simply punting on this
problem and not dealing with this class of problems vigorously is rather
foolish. It winds up doing what it has done for years - undermining pretty
much all efforts related to Java EE, especially compared to the velocity
and effectiveness by which the clear competitors to everything Java EE
solve these issues. In the end, we are collectively to blame for the dismal
state of affairs in Java EE land because of this sort of thing.

If DeltaSpike provides the support of @Lock, maybe it can be pushed to
JavaEE concurrency as part of EE8 update. If not, maybe CDI should define
an addendum for EE integration. I think we should seriously think about
this.

since it owns that specification. If this is a valuable feature to the
community (which I definitely think it is) I strongly suggest taking
advantage of the fact that this is a gray area and include it in a modular
CDI specification so this feature doesn't continue to remain locked into
EJB for Java EE users that need to more effectively use things like
@Stereotype for service composition.
