Remove Netty entirely, using the new Nio wrapper classes instead
* BitcoinSerializer now uses ByteBuffers directly instead of
InputStreams.
* TCPNetworkConnection and NetworkConnection interface deleted,
Peer now extends the abstract class PeerSocketHandler which
handles deserialization and interfaces with the Nio wrapper
classes.
* As a part of this, all version message handling has been moved
to Peer, instead of doing it in TCPNetworkConnection.
* Peer.setMinProtocolVersion() now returns a boolean instead of a
null/non-null future which holds the now-closing channel.
* Peer.sendMessage (now PeerSocketHandler.sendMessage()) now
returns void.
* PeerGroup has some significant API changes:
* removed constructors which take pipeline factories,
makePipelineFactory, createClientBootstrap
* Replaced with a setSocketTimeoutMillis method that sets a
timeout between openConnection() and version/verack exchange.
(Note that because Peer extends AbstractTimeoutHandler, it has
useful timeout setters public already).
* connectTo returns a Peer future, not a ChannelFuture
* removed peerFromChannelFuture and peerFromChannel
* Peer and PeerGroup Tests have semi-significant rewrites:
* They use actual TCP connections to localhost
* The "remote" side is a InboundMessageQueuer, which queues
inbound messages and allows for writing arbitrary messages.
* It ignores certain special pings which come from pingAndWait,
which is used to wait for message processing in the Peer.
* Removed a broken test in PeerGroupTest that should be reenabled
if we ever prefer a different version than our minimum version
again.
* Removed two duplicate tests in PeerTest (testRun_*Exception)
which are tested for in badMessage as well.
* Added a test for peer timeout and large message deserialization

The app is not meant to be usable by end users. It is intended to act as a template for people to build custom apps that use contracts. To that end you can get money in, and empty your wallet, but there's no other controls beyond that.
Apps based on this template look professional and have nice animations and visual effects. You can also use this as a way to learn JavaFX.
