Motivation: If netty is used in a tomcat container tomcat itself may ship tcnative. Because of this we will try to use OpenSsl in netty and fail because it is different to netty-tcnative. Modifications: Ensure if we find tcnative it is really netty-tcnative before using it. Result: No more problems when using netty in a tomcat container that also has tcnative installed.
Netty Project

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
Development of all 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.
