Motivation: Use new / non-deprecated APIs for creating SSL Context in tests, in order to be able to implement OpenSsl tests with maximum code reuse. Modifications: Use `SslContextBuilder.(forServer|forClient)` instead of deprecated `JdkSslServerContext` constructor. Use `ApplicationProtocolConfig` instead of Protocol Negotiator. Use custom exception type for skipping tests to avoid swallowing exceptions arising from tests. Result: Exceptions from tests aren't swallowed. Using new APIs allows reusing same test code for OpenSsl tests.

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.
