Hi Julian, a strong +1 for keeping it here. For the raw socket stuff I think I had even added the "raw-socket" module to "utils" which should become a netty transport you could use outside of PLC4X. And then a "plc4j-protocol-driver-base-raw-socket" which sort of is the glue to bring that module into our world. I think the directory structure could use some cleaning up, but how about doing it that way for the serial stuff ...
Create the PLC4X agnostic library in "utlils" and update the existing plc4j-protocol-driver-base-serial module to use that. Of course, if an external project wants to use it, they can and it's a little group-id fame for Toddy.

I opened a discussion on the (somehow inofficial and half-deprecated) Netty dev list and already got a response from Norman (main maintainer of Netty, I think), see [1]. They would prefer to have the code not there (I would prefer to have it there) so I will create a module in PLC4X to host it there for now. Although it could even be in a separate repo (bc it could be used by others then PLC4X) its easiest to have it here with LEGAL and all that stuff (than in a separate repo of mine or so). Any comments or objections (other than if I look at the raw sockets impl) ? Julian PS.: Yes Chris, I’ll look at raw sockets when I’m done with that :P [1] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/netty/VkuE-IbURvc
