# 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](https://netty.io/wiki/developer-guide.html). This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
* Latest stable [Oracle JDK 7](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/)
* Latest stable [Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/)
* If you are on Linux, you need [additional development packages](https://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html) 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'](https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/3.9) and [the branch '4.0'](https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/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.all`
* `io.netty.buffer`
* `io.netty.codec`
* `io.netty.codec.dns`
* `io.netty.codec.haproxy`
* `io.netty.codec.http`
* `io.netty.codec.http2`
* `io.netty.codec.memcache`
* `io.netty.codec.mqtt`
* `io.netty.codec.redis`
* `io.netty.codec.smtp`
* `io.netty.codec.socks`
* `io.netty.codec.stomp`
* `io.netty.codec.xml`
* `io.netty.common`
* `io.netty.handler`
* `io.netty.handler.proxy`
* `io.netty.resolver`
* `io.netty.resolver.dns`
* `io.netty.transport`
* `io.netty.transport.epoll` (`native` omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
* `io.netty.transport.kqueue` (`native` omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
* `io.netty.transport.unix.common` (`native` omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
* `io.netty.transport.rxtx`
* `io.netty.transport.sctp`
* `io.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.
