I could always ask, but I doubt it - the author has a commercial product
based on a much newer version of the source - http://www.dirwatcher.com.
Before I started using his code - I started writing my own implementation,
which mostly works, but it is inefficient in that it creates a new thread
for each directory watched, and locks up the JVM on shutdown =)
I could work on that some more if you want - or pass it to you in its
uncompleted state if you feel like hacking on it - basically just need to
call ReadDirectoryChangesW asynchronously - which was a little hairier
than I had time to get into:
