Motivation:
Currently, the only way to create fixed-header only messages PINGREQ,
PINGRESP and DISCONNECT is to explicitly instantiate a `MqttFixedHeader` like:
```
MqttFixedHeader disconnectFixedHeader = new MqttFixedHeader(MqttMessageType.DISCONNECT,
false, MqttQoS.AT_MOST_ONCE, false, 0);
MqttMessage disconnectMessage = new MqttMessage(disconnectFixedHeader);
```
According to the MQTT spec
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v3.1.1/os/mqtt-v3.1.1-os.html#_Toc398718077),
the fixed-header flags for these messages are reserved and must be set to zero, otherwise
the receiver must close the connection. It's easy to mess this up when
you're creating the header explicitly, for e.g by setting the QoS bit to
`AT_LEAST_ONCE`.
As such, provide static constants for PINGREQ, PINGRESP and
DISCONNECT messages that will set the flags correctly for the developer.
Modification:
Add static constants to MqttMessage class to construct PINGREQ, PINGRESP and
DISCONNECT messages that will set the fixed-header flags correctly to 0.
Result:
Easier usage.
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:
- 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.
Usage with JDK 9
Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:
io.netty.allio.netty.bufferio.netty.codecio.netty.codec.dnsio.netty.codec.haproxyio.netty.codec.httpio.netty.codec.http2io.netty.codec.memcacheio.netty.codec.mqttio.netty.codec.redisio.netty.codec.smtpio.netty.codec.socksio.netty.codec.stompio.netty.codec.xmlio.netty.commonio.netty.handlerio.netty.handler.proxyio.netty.resolverio.netty.resolver.dnsio.netty.transportio.netty.transport.epoll(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.kqueue(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.unix.common(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.rxtxio.netty.transport.sctpio.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info file.
