Motivation: Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons: 1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this. 2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction. Modifications: - Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects - Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler Result: It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.

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.
