Re: [orbit-dev] Request to add Netty 4.0.19

I missed this too, sorry.

I'm going to assume you're volunteering to own these packages in Orbit and kicked off the committer vote.

Let us know how we can help you once you have access.

Jens,

Did you ever get a response?

I'd say "any time now".

But, to remind you and everyone, I'd prefer not to "promote" any more builds until after Luna releases, just to avoid confusion over "which one to use for Luna".

The builds will still take place, but only be available in "committers" area, on build machine ... not on main "downloads" page.

HTH, and thanks for your contributions.

Hello Orbit,

I would like to add Netty 4.0.19 [1] to Eclipse Orbit. We will be using
it in the Eclipse SCADA Project and have a piggy back CQ [2] to the
original CQ [3].

At the moment we only require a subset of Netty, so I would only add the
following modules:
- io.netty.buffer
- io.netty.codec
- io.netty.common
- io.netty.handler
- io.netty.transport

If anybody requires an additional module I would also add this from the
beginning.

These modules are not required for Luna! So if now is not a good time,
just let me now when I can add them.

A short description of netty (from their homepage):

   Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables quick and easy
development of network applications such as protocol servers and
clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network programming such
as TCP and UDP socket server.

It can be compared to Apache Mina (which already is in Orbit). Although
one can argue a lot about whether to use Mina or Netty, I think there
are good reasons for both.

Regards

Jens
