Motivation: When running the examples using the provided run-examples.sh script the log level is 'info' level. It can be handy to be able to configure a different level, for example 'debug', while learning and trying out the the examples. Modifications: Added a dependency to logback-classic to the examples pom.xml, and also added a logback configuration file. The log level can be configured by setting the 'logLevel' system property, and if that property is not set the default will be 'info' level. The run-examples.sh was updated to show an example of using the system property to set the log level to 'debug' Result: It is now possible to turn on debug logging by settnig a system property on the command line.

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.
