Eric Anderson 6668b3c40d The "null" ClassLoader is the bootstrap ClassLoader
Motivation:
Class.forName() documents that null will use bootstrap loader:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#forName-java.lang.String-boolean-java.lang.ClassLoader-

But the link between "null" and bootstrap loader is even more explicit
in ClassLoader's documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getParent--

The current code is trying to use the bootstrap loader but seems to have
not been aware of the meaning of null.

Modifications:
Use "null" as the class loader when we want to load classes in the
bootstrap loader.

Result:
More reliable ALPN/NPN loading and simpler code.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

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:

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.
