Motivation: The epoll testsuite tests the epoll transport only against itself (i.e. epoll x epoll only). We should test the epoll transport also against the well-tested NIO transport, too. Modifications: - Make SocketTestPermutation extensible and reusable so that the epoll testsuite can take advantage of it. - Rename EpollTestUtils to EpollSocketTestPermutation and make it extend SocketTestPermutation. - Overall clean-up of SocketTestPermutation - Use Arrays.asList() for simplicity - Add combo() method to remove code duplication Result: The epoll transport is now also tested against the NIO transport. SocketTestPermutation got cleaner.

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
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.
