Raise the Netty 5 minimum required Java version to Java 11. Motivation: Java 11 has been out for some time, and Netty 5 is still some ways out. There are also many good features in Java 11 that we wish to use, such as VarHandles, var-keyword, and the module system. There is no reason for Netty 5 to not require Java 11, since Netty 4.x will still be supported for the time being. Modification: Remove everything in the pom files related to Java versions older than Java 11. Remove the animal-sniffer plug-in and rely on the `--release` compiler flag instead. Remove docker files related to Java versions older than Java 11. Remove the copied SCTP APIs -- we should test this commit independently on Windows. Remove the OpenJdkSelfSignedCertGenerator.java file and just always use Bouncy Castle for generating self-signed certificates for testing. Make netty-testsuite tests pass by including Bouncy Castle as a test dependency, so we're able to generate our self-signed certificate. Result: Java 11 is now the minimum required Java version. |

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.
Usage with JDK 9
Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:
io.netty.allio.netty.bufferio.netty.codecio.netty.codec.dnsio.netty.codec.haproxyio.netty.codec.httpio.netty.codec.http2io.netty.codec.memcacheio.netty.codec.mqttio.netty.codec.redisio.netty.codec.smtpio.netty.codec.socksio.netty.codec.stompio.netty.codec.xmlio.netty.commonio.netty.handlerio.netty.handler.proxyio.netty.resolverio.netty.resolver.dnsio.netty.transportio.netty.transport.epoll(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.kqueue(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.unix.common(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.rxtxio.netty.transport.sctpio.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info file.
