Motivation: The contract of `ByteBuf.writeBytes(ByteBuf src)` is such that it will throw an `IndexOutOfBoundsException if `src.readableBytes()` is greater than `this.writableBytes()`. The EmptyByteBuf class will throw the exception, even if the source buffer has zero readable bytes, in violation of the contract. Modifications: Use the helper method `checkLength(..)` to check the length and throw the exception, if appropriate. Result: Conformance with the stated behavior of ByteBuf.

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.
