Async Documentation has old coordinates

[darkattractions]

Expected Behavior

in the last documentation for grails 7, for rxjava support, we need to add the following dependency
implementation 'org.apache.grails:grails-rxjava:{version}'

Actual Behaviour

org.apache.grails:grails-rxjava does not exist.
Using the old org.grails.plugins:rxjava does not work either due to javax usage.

The Grails 7 documentation mentioning the grails-rxjava plugin.

The rxjava plugin is not part of Grails-Core it is a community plugin and has not been updated for Grails 7.

Todo: Update plugin to Grails 7 or update the documentation to reflect that the plugin only works for Grails versions 3-6.

Grails has a discussion thread on request for upgrading plugins #15044

The documentation in the Guide is related to the grails-async plugin & the option to choose rxjava, gpars, etc. There is also a separate rxjava plugin. @darkattractions the documentation needs updated to point to the new coordinates. Take a look at https://github.com/apache/grails-core/blob/7.0.x/RENAME.md for how to map to the new names.

Well that is at bit confusing ...

Is the (8 year old) community plugin still relevant then? Should we maybe mark it archived...

I haven't compared async to the older plugin but I assume the older one should be archived. @matrei what do you think?

[jdaugherty]

I've opened #15288 to change these coordinates to the correct location. Thank you @darkattractions

@jdaugherty I don't think they overlap totally. It seems grails-async is more general purpose for asynchronous "move off the request thread" tasks and the grails-rxjava plugin seems to be focused on controller responses and complementing RxGorm + functionality for SSE (Server Side Events).
