Motivation: We should only try to calculate the direct memory offset when sun.misc.Unsafe is present as otherwise it will fail with an NPE as PlatformDependent.directBufferAddress(...) will throw it. This problem was introduced by 66b9be3a469a2cdcc5d18a8b94c679940ce002a9. Modifications: Use offset of 0 if no sun.misc.Unsafe is present. Result: PooledByteBufAllocator also works again when no sun.misc.Unsafe is present.

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.
