  Description     : simplified low-level I/O layer for NIO

 XNIO is a simplified low-level I/O layer which can be used anywhere
 you are using non-blocking I/O today. It frees you from the hassle of
 dealing with Selectors and the lack of NIO support for multicast
 sockets and non-socket I/O, while still maintaining all the
 capabilities present in NIO, and it opens the door to non-obvious
 optimizations.
 .
 XNIO provides a unique API for combining blocking and non-blocking
 operations, even on the same channel, allowing you to take advantage
 of the simplicity and low latency of blocking I/O while still gaining
 the thread-conservative and throughput benefits of non-blocking I/O.

jboss-xnio is a dependency for undertow
(http://bugs.debian.org/767001) and will be maintained within the Debian
Java team.
