Motivation: At the moment we have some methods that return a ChannelFuture but still throw a Http2Exception too. This is confusing in terms of semantic. A method which returns a ChannelFuture should not throw an Http2Exception but just fail the ChannelFuture. Modifications: * Make sure we fail the returned ChannelFuture in cases of Http2Exception and remove the throws Http2Exception from the method signature. * Also some cleanup Result: Make the API usage more clear.

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 versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>
. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
