Motivation: Unsafe.invokeCleaner(...) checks if the passed in ByteBuffer is a slice or duplicate and if so throws an IllegalArgumentException on Java9. We need to ensure we never try to free a ByteBuffer that was provided by the user directly as we not know if its a slice / duplicate or not. Modifications: Never try to free a ByteBuffer that was passed into UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf constructor by an user (via Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(....)). Result: Build passes again on Java9

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.
