Motivation: maven-antrun-plugin does not redirect stdin, and thus it's impossible to run interactive examples such as securechat-client and telnet-client. org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin redirects stdin, but it buffers stdout and stderr, and thus an application output is not flushed timely. Modifications: Deploy a forked version of exec-maven-plugin which flushes output buffers in a timely manner. Result: Interactive examples work. Launches faster than maven-antrun-plugin.

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.
