Motivation: We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result, our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections. Modifications: - Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections from pom.xml - Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info Result: Cleaner pom.xml

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.
