Obviously, if users don't want to use CDI (or MDBs, which are also declarative), then they would use the normal JMS API. 
The existing API to register an async message listener isn't good enough, and we may improve it in JMS 2.1, but that's 
not something that I'd want to bother the people on cdi-dev with.
