Motivation: 325cc84a2ebbf4f5e362ec9ca09202b4647bd100 introduced new tests which uses classes only provided by Java8+. We need to ensure we only try to load classes needed for these when we run the tests on Java8+ so we still can run the testsuite with Java7. Modifications: Add extra class which only gets loaded when Java8+ is used and move code there. Result: No more class-loader issue when running tests with Java7.

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.
