Motivation: During some refactoring we changed PlatformDependend0 to use sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer for release direct buffers. This broke support for android as the class does not exist there and so an exception is thrown. Modification: Use again the fieldoffset to get access to Cleaner for release direct buffers. Result: Netty can be used on android again

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.
