Motivation: When running Netty on a container environment, the container will often complain about the lingering threads such as the worker threads of ThreadDeathWatcher and GlobalEventExecutor. We should provide an operation that allows a use to wait until such threads are terminated. Modifications: - Add awaitInactivity() - (misc) Fix typo in GlobalEventExecutorTest - (misc) Port ThreadDeathWatch's CAS-based thread life cycle management to GlobalEventExecutor Result: - Fixes #2084 - Less overhead on task submission of GlobalEventExecutor

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 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.
