Motivation: ThreadLocalRandomTest reveals that ThreadLocalRandom's initial seed generation loop becomes tight if the thread is interrupted. We currently interrupt ourselves inside the wait loop, which will raise an InterruptedException again in the next iteration, resulting in infinite (up to 3 seconds) exception construction and thread interruptions. Modification: - When the initial seed generator thread is interrupted, break out of the wait loop immediately. - Log properly when the initial seed generation failed due to interruption. - When failed to generate the initial seed, interrupt the generator thread just in case the SecureRandom implementation handles it properly. - Make the initial seed generator thread daemon and handle potential exceptions raised due to the interruption. Result: No more tight loop on interruption. More robust generator thread termination. Fixes #2412

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.
