Hi Olek,

The empty jar is a compromise between providing a resolvable netty-all
dependency to the build systems and avoiding a duplication of the
classes installed. If Bazel pulls the transitive dependencies this
shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise you can simply replace the netty-all
dependency by the individual artifacts used by Bazel.
