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
Netty Project

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
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.
