Jason Tedor e00b797936 Acquire Java version simply
Motivation:

The Java version is used for platform dependent logic. Yet, the logic
for acquiring the Java version requires special permissions (the runtime
permission "getClassLoader") that some downstream projects will never
grant. As such, these projects are doomed to have Netty act is their
Java major version is six.  While there are ways to maintain the same
logic without requiring these special permissions, the logic is
needlessly complicated because it relies on loading classes that exist
in version n but not version n - 1. This complexity can be removed. As a
bonanza, the dangerous permission is no longer required.

Modifications:

Rather than attempting to load classes that exist in version n but not
in version n - 1, we can just parse the Java specification version. This
only requires a begign property (property permission
"java.specification.version") and is simple.

Result:

Acquisition of the Java version is safe and simple.

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

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:

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.
