Motivation:
The netty-all artifact doesn't have a Automatic-Module-Name defined in the manifest like the rest of the projects do, resulting in requires netty.all.
Modification:
Add Automatic-Module-Name
Result:
Correctly work as java9 module.
Motivation:
Use actual links to new locations of Protobuf repo and documentation to
avoid problems when redirect will not work.
Modification:
Links in comments and all/pom.xml
Result:
Correct links to Protobuf resources
Motivation:
c93e58c453 changed to use _ for the tcnative lib name but missed to also adjust the filtering.
Modifications:
Fix filtering to look for _
Result:
Not include native tcnative lib as expected.
Motivation:
We need to exclude the netty-tcnative classes from the all jar when building it as otherwise there may be classloader issues.
Modifications:
Add io/netty/internal/tcnative to the exclude list.
Result:
Fixes [#6791]
Motivation:
As we now include native code for multiple platforms we need to generate an uber all jar before release it from the staging repository. For this the uber-staging profile can be used. To create a snapshot uber jar the uber-snapshot profile can be used.
Modifications:
- Add uber-staging and uber-snapshot profile
- Correct comment in pom.xml file to show usage.
Result:
Easier to create snapshot and release uber jars.
Motivation:
To ensure the release plugin works correctly we need to ensure all modules are included during build.
Modification:
- Include all modules
- Skip compilation and tests for native code when not supported but still include the module and build the jar
Result:
Build and release works again
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.

Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4231
Motivation:
codec-redis and codec-xml are release modules and should be included in netty-all.
Modifications:
Add codec-redis and codec-xml modules to netty-all pom.
Result:
codec-redis and codec-xml can be used with the netty-all artifact.
Motivation:
Java9 will be released soon so we should ensure we can compile netty with Java9 and run all our tests. This will help to make sure Netty will be usable with Java9.
Modification:
- Add some workarounds to be able to compile with Java9, note that the full profile is not supported with Java9 atm.
- Remove some usage of internal APIs to be able to compile on java9
- Not support Alpn / Npn and so not run the tests when using Java9 for now. We will do a follow up PR to add support.
Result:
Its possible to build netty and run its testsuite with Java9.
Motivation:
562d8d2200 added codec-smtp but we missed to add it to the all jar.
Modifications:
Include codec-smtp in the all jar.
Result:
Include all codecs in the all jar.
Motivation:
It is good to have used dependencies and plugins up-to-date to fix any undiscovered bug fixed by the authors.
Modification:
Scanned dependencies and plugins and carefully updated one by one.
Result:
Dependencies and plugins are up-to-date.
Motivation:
maven-dependency-plugin will include dependencies of all scopes by default. We should limit the scope to avoid pulling test dependencies. See #5317.
Modifications:
Add includeScope to avoid pulling test dependencies.
Result:
netty-all doesn't include codes from netty-build
Motivation:
See https://github.com/netty/netty-build/issues/5
Modifications:
Add xml-maven-plugin to check indentation and fix violations
Result:
pom.xml will be checked in the PR build
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
The codec-http2 module was excluded from the all/pom.xml.
Modifications:
Include the codec-http2 dependency in the all/pom.xml.
Results:
Projects including the all dependency get codec-http2.
Related: #2952
Motivation:
META-INF/io.netty.versions.properties in netty-all-*.jar does not
contain the version information about the netty-transport-epoll module.
Modifications:
Fix a bug in the regular expression in pom.xml, so that the artifacts
with a classifier is also included in the version properties file.
Result:
The version information of all modules are included in the version
properties file, and Version.identify() does not miss
netty-transport-epoll.
Motivation:
So far, we relied on the domain name resolution mechanism provided by
JDK. It served its purpose very well, but had the following
shortcomings:
- Domain name resolution is performed in a blocking manner.
This becomes a problem when a user has to connect to thousands of
different hosts. e.g. web crawlers
- It is impossible to employ an alternative cache/retry policy.
e.g. lower/upper bound in TTL, round-robin
- It is impossible to employ an alternative name resolution mechanism.
e.g. Zookeeper-based name resolver
Modification:
- Add the resolver API in the new module: netty-resolver
- Implement the DNS-based resolver: netty-resolver-dns
.. which uses netty-codec-dns
- Make ChannelFactory reusable because it's now used by
io.netty.bootstrap, io.netty.resolver.dns, and potentially by other
modules in the future
- Move ChannelFactory from io.netty.bootstrap to io.netty.channel
- Deprecate the old ChannelFactory
- Add ReflectiveChannelFactory
Result:
It is trivial to resolve a large number of domain names asynchronously.
Related issue: #1133
Motivation:
There is no support for client socket connections via a proxy server in
Netty.
Modifications:
- Add a new module 'handler-proxy'
- Add ProxyHandler and its subclasses to support SOCKS 4a/5 and HTTP(S)
proxy connections
- Add a full parameterized test for most scenarios
- Clean up pom.xml
Result:
A user can make an outgoing connection via proxy servers with only
trivial effort.
MQTT is a open source protocol on top of TCP which is widely used in
mobile communication and also for IoT (Internet of Things) today. This
will add an open source implementation of MQTT so that it becomes easier
for Netty users to implement an MQTT application.
For more information about the MQTT protocol, read this:
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/webservices/ws-mqtt/mqtt-v3r1.html
Motivation:
maven-antrun-plugin does not redirect stdin, and thus it's impossible to
run interactive examples such as securechat-client and telnet-client.
org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin redirects stdin, but it buffers
stdout and stderr, and thus an application output is not flushed timely.
Modifications:
Deploy a forked version of exec-maven-plugin which flushes output
buffers in a timely manner.
Result:
Interactive examples work. Launches faster than maven-antrun-plugin.
Motivation:
- dependencyVersionsDir property is not resolved during the build
process. The build doesn't fail because of this, but it creates an
ugly directory.
- All-in-one JAR contains libnetty-tcnative.so, which is not part of the
all-in-one JAR.
Modifications:
- Fix an incorrect property name
(dependencyVersionDir -> dependencyVersionsDir)
- Exclude libnetty-tcnative.so
- Remove unnecessary includes in source expanding configuration
Result:
- Cleaner pom.xml
- We do not ship libnetty-tcnative.so in all-in-one JAR anymore, which
is correct, because strictly speaking the native library belongs to
org.apache.tomcat.jni package.
Motivation:
exec-maven-plugin does not flush stdout and stderr, making the console
output from the examples invisible to users
Modification:
Use maven-antrun-plugin instead
Result:
A user sees the output from the examples immediately.
