Trustin Lee 229c14ccdb Move the pull request guide to the developer guide
Motivation:

CONTRIBUTING.md is useful only because it lets Github show a user the
link to it so the user can check what information we need before
submitting a bug report.  However, Github does not do the same for a
pull request submission form, and thus there's no reason to keep the
information about how to submit a good pull request in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Modification:

Replace the section about issuing a pull request with the link to the
official developer guide.

Result:

CONTRIBUTING.md is easier to maintain.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

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:

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.
