Motivation: A `SeekAheadNoBackArrayException` used as check for `ByteBuf#hasArray`. The catch of exceptions carries a large overhead on stack trace filling, and this should be avoided. Modifications: - Remove the class `SeekAheadNoBackArrayException` and replace its usage with `if` statements. - Use methods from `ObjectUtils` for better readability. - Make private methods static where it make sense. - Remove unused private methods. Result: Less of exception handling logic, better performance.

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.
