This fixes #6652. Rationale The invocation of initChannel of ChannelInitializer has been moved to as early as during handlerAdded is invoked in 26aa34853, whereas it was only invoked during channelRegistered is invoked before that. So the comment does not describe how handlers are added in normal circumstances anymore. However, the code is kept as-is since there might be unusual cases, and adding ServerBootstrapAcceptor via the event loop is always safe to enforce the correct order.

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.
