Modifications: When trying out the Http2Client example I noticed that adding a request payload would not cause a data frame to written. This seems to be because writeHeaders completes the promise, and then the writeData call ends up in FlowControlWriter.writeFrame, isDone is true and the data released and the call aborted and returned. Adding a new promise for the writeData method allows a data frame to be written. Result: A body/payload can now be sent to the server. The example was updated to simply echo the payload received back to the calling client.

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.
