Specify that @javax.ejb.Asynchronous can be used instead of @Asynchronous in MP

See original GitHub issue

Since @javax.ejb.Asynchronous is already specified in the EJB spec and many MP implementations already provide it, I suggest to specify that it can be used instead of org.eclipse.microprofile.faulttolerance.Asynchronous as an alternative. For many developers it could be confusing that there are 2 @Asynchronous annotations provided by an implementation and only one of them works. It’s very easy to use the wrong one.

In terms of TCK, a test would be executed only if @javax.ejb.Asynchronous is on the classpath so that it passes or is ignored for implementations that don’t provide it.

I’m -1 on this.

It’s only an issue when those two annotations happen to be on the classpath, which is not the case with every MP implementation.

Also, it’s no different than the situation with other annotations in Java EE that are re-used between specifications.
