Motivation: Before we used a long[] to store the ready events, this had a few problems and limitations: - An extra loop was needed to translate between epoll_event and our long - JNI may need to do extra memory copy if the JVM not supports pinning - More branches Modifications: - Introduce a EpollEventArray which allows to directly write in a struct epoll_event* and pass it to epoll_wait. Result: Better speed when using native transport, as shown in the benchmark.

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 major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
