Motivation: When we do a (env*)->GetObjectArrayElement(...) call we may created many local references which will only be cleaned up once we exist the native method. Thus a lot of memory can be used and so a StackOverFlow may be triggered. Beside this the JNI specification only say that an implementation must cope with 16 local references. Modification: Call (env*)->ReleaseLocalRef(...) to release the resource once not needed anymore. Result: Less memory usage and guard against StackOverflow

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.
