Motivation: We see occational failures in the datagram tests saying 'address already in use' when we attempt to bind on a port returned by TestUtils.getFreePort(). It turns out that TestUtils.getFreePort() only checks if TCP port is available. Modifications: Also check if UDP port is available, so that the datagram tests do not fail because of the 'address already in use' error during a bind attempt. Result: Less chance of datagram test failures

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
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.
