You require the following to build Netty:
* Latest stable [Oracle JDK 7](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/)
* Latest stable [OpenJDK 8]https://adoptopenjdk.net)
* Latest stable [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/)
* If you are on Linux, you need [additional development packages](https://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html) installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
