Difference between Jboss netty and netty?

Question

Seems netty has two sources? One is from Jboss netty and the other is (plain)netty? They are almost the same with slightly difference.

Such as: io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequest and org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequest. They looks almost the same but have several different signatures.

My question is: some sample code are based on jboss and some code code are based on plain Netty, they are so confused. Which one should i use? Why two so similar packages?

Please execute me i am a newbie for netty, and appreciate your answer. This makes me crazy today. Thank you.

Answer 1

In this post you could find you answer, in Netty 3.X the packages were from org.jboss.netty.* http://netty.io/3.10/api/index.html

But started Netty 4.X the packeages are from io.netty.* see: http://netty.io/4.0/api/index.html

And yes, version 3 and version 4 has several diferences. I recommend you develop in the stable version, check it in http://netty.io/wiki/index.html
