Motivation: Make small refactoring for recently merged PR #5867 to make the code more flexible and expose aggressive round robin as a NameResolver too with proper code reuse. Modifications: Round robin is a method of hostname resolving - so Round robin related code fully moved to RoundRobinInetAddressResolver implements NameResolver<InetAddress>, RoundRobinInetSocketAddressResolver is deleted as a separate class, instance with the same functionality could be created by calling #asAddressResolver. Result: New forced Round Robin code exposed not only as an AddressResolver but as a NameResolver too, more proper code and semantic reusing of InetNameResolver and InetSocketAddressResolver classes.

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.
