Motivation: `SimpleChannelPool` subclasses are likely to override the `connectChannel` method, and are likely to clobber the cloned `Bootstrap` handler in the process. To allow subclasses to properly notify the pool listener of new connections, we should expose (at least) the `handler` property of the pool to subclasses. Modifications: Expose `SimpleChannelPool` properties to subclasses via `protected` getters. Result: Subclasses can now use the bootstrap, handler, health checker, and health-check-on-release preoperties from their superclass.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages 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.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
