Motivation: Currenlty, netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is not packed as OSGi bundle and thus not working in OSGi environment. Modifications: In netty-transport-native-epoll's pom.xml added configuration to attach manifest to the jar with a native library. In netty-common's pom.xml added configuration instruction (DynamicImport-Package) to maven bnd plugin to make sure the native code is loaded from netty-transport-native-epoll bundle. Result: The netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is a bundle (MANIFEST.MF attached) and the inluced native library can be successfuly loaded in OSGi environment. Fixing #5119

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.
