Motivation: Attribute.getAndRemove() will return the value but also remove the AttributeKey itself from the AttributeMap. This may not what you want as you may want to keep an instance of it and just set it later again. Document the contract so the user know what to expect. Modifications: - Make it clear when to use AttributeKey.getAndRemove() / AttributeKey.remove() and when AttributeKey.getAndSet(null) / AttributeKey.set(null). Result: Less suprising behaviour.

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
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other 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.
