It's obviously not only my decision what to do with this code, you are
right it's only my opinion (which will stay non-binding) which is to
keep where it is now just in case and drop it once the new master opens.
To be honest, it does not matter much to me :-), so if few more PMCs say
yes, def has to be a new module - then I'll give my +1 and move on, as I
said purely from a tech point of view a dedicated module without
optional deps is better.
I'm simply hesitating, given how much effort went into dropping some old
modules from 3.2.x, to start with another module with precisely 4 files
(3 in .client subpackage, 1 in .server) with us (me definitely) unlikely
contributing to it at this stage. I'd rather spend the limited amount of
time I have now on growing the small (but with the prospect of growth)
reactivestreams lib we've discussed with John which can be used by
RxJava2 and Reactor code...

Got it, so "legacy" part is questionable here. Check out the releases page,
https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/releases, the 1.x is still being
actively
supported and maintained (and there are reasons for that, as I
mentioned). So
it is really up to us to decide, should we support it or not, but with
the new
module we could get the stats and make the decision not based on
"legacy" but
if it is used or not. I don't have particular attachments to RxJava 1.x so
if you are confident no one is relying on this integration, I would
agree with
you and we should better remove this code.

Hey Sergey,
I think the "ideal" in this case depends on whom to ask. For us - yet
another module to support, for users - out of the box integration. With new
module we could collect a bit more insights if people use it or not. No use
- drop in next releases. Thanks.

Hi Andriy
As I said, introducing a dedicated support for a legacy library in the
form of a new module would not be ideal IMHO

Hey Sergey,
That would be ideal I think (move RxJava into separate module). RxJava2
and
RxJava are quite different frameworks, some people just stuck with RxJava
so
we could support them there. Thanks.

Hi
cxf-rt-rs-extension-rx ships the code for both (old) RxJava and RxJava2
code. It supports returning RxJava2 Flowable and Observable on the
server and accepting it on the client, and the same for the (old) RxJava
Observable...
While even the (old) RxJava code is very new for CXF, the reality is
that RxJava has been around for a while now and with RxJava2 embracing
org.reactivestreams, it's hard to see CXF users preferring to start with
the (old) RxJava.
The other minor problem is that cxf-rt-rs-extension-rx has optional
RxJava and RxJava2 deps to be able to ship the relevant code in the same
module and splitting it into 2 modules will be too much at this point.
I suggest that unless some users confirm (I CC to the users) that they
need to use the (old) RxJava code, then we just remove it and make
things much simpler...
Thanks, Sergey
