Thanks for the help, David, I followed your advices to clean up the transitive dependencies and make sure we only depend on a 
single Netty version[1]

Jenkins is running the AS7 test suite.
I'm confident for HornetQ as it is the Netty version that is tested in its test suite.
Infinispan 5.2.0.BETA1 requires the next version of Netty (3.4.6.Final) but it's better than what is running with now in AS7 
(3.2.6.Final). So we should be better

cheers,
