I'm happy to announce that Baizel Mathew and Steven Wong have written a new transport protocol using Netty!
Read Baizel's announcement here: [1]; for the code look here: [2].
I anticipate that the Netty transport will replace TCP_NIO2 over time.
The maven coordinates are:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jgroups</groupId>
<artifactId>jgroups-netty</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Alpha2</version>
</dependency>
Thanks, Baizel and Steven, for your contribution!
