Motivation When I override ChannelHandler methods I usually (always) refire events myself via ChannelHandlerContext instead of relieing on calling the super method (say `super.write(ctx, ...)`). This works great and the IDE actually auto completes/generates the right code for it except `#fireUserEventTriggered()` and `#userEventTriggered()` which have a mismatching argument names and I have to manually "intervene". Modification Rename `ChannelHandlerContext#fireUserEventTriggered()` argument from `event` to `evt` to match its handler counterpart. Result The IDE's auto generated code will reference the correct variable.

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.
