Rebased and cleaned-up based on the work by @normanmaurer Motivation: Currently, IOExceptions and ClosedChannelExceptions are thrown from inside the JNI methods. Instantiation of Java objects inside JNI code is an expensive operation, needless to say about filling stack trace for every instantiation of an exception. Modifications: Change most JNI methods to return a negative value on failure so that the exceptions are instantiated outside the native code. Also, pre-instantiate some commonly-thrown exceptions for better performance. Result: Performance gain

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
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.
