Motivation:
We need to ensure we only register native methods once as otherwise we may end up in an "invalid" state. The problem here was that before it was basically the responsibility the user of transport-native-unix-common to register the methods. This is error prone as there may be multiple users of these on the classpath at the same time.
Modifications:
- Provide a way to init native lib without register the native methods of the provided classes. This is needed to be able to re-use functionality which is exposed to our internal native code
- Use flatten plugin to correctly resolve classifier and so have the correct dependency
- Call Unix.* method to ensure we register the methods correctly once
- Include native lib as well in the native jars of unix-common
Result:
Be able to have multiple artifacts of the classpath that depends on the unix-common. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty-incubator-transport-io_uring/issues/15
Motivation:
https in xmlns URIs does not work and will let the maven release plugin fail:

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
We should not only include the java source files but also the c source file in our source jars.
Modifications:
Add files from src/main/c as well
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9494
Motivation:
On openSUSE (probably more), 64 bit builds use lib64, e.g. /usr/lib64, and
configure picks this up and builds the native library in
native-build/target/lib64 where maven is not looking.
Modifications:
Explicitly specify --libdir=${project.build.directory}/native-build/target/lib
during configuration.
Result:
Maven uses the correct lib directory.
