Motivation:
To be able to easily build only one of the native sub-modules its needed that all the dependencies can be fetched from maven. At the moment we dont deploy transport-native-unix-common and so an attempt to just build for example the native epoll transport fails with:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project netty-transport-native-epoll: Could not resolve dependencies for project io.netty:netty-transport-native-epoll:jar:4.1.13.Final-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact io.netty:netty-transport-native-unix-common-tests:jar:4.1.13.Final-SNAPSHOT in sonatype-nexus-snapshots (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots) -> [Help 1]
Modifications:
Deploy jar
Result:
All dependencies on maven repository.
Motivation:
We currently don't have a native transport which supports kqueue https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2. This can be useful for BSD systems such as MacOS to take advantage of native features, and provide feature parity with the Linux native transport.
Modifications:
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common module with all the java classes and JNI code for generic unix items. This module will build a static library for each unix platform, and included in the dynamic libraries used for JNI (e.g. transport-native-epoll, and eventually kqueue).
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common-tests module where the tests for the transport-native-unix-common module will live. This is so each unix platform can inherit from these test and ensure they pass.
- Add a new transport-native-kqueue module which uses JNI to directly interact with kqueue
Result:
JNI support for kqueue.
