[jira] [Commented] (VFS-537) use WatchService when it is available

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-537?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14145056#comment-14145056 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on VFS-537:
----------------------------------

It would be simpler to require Java 7 and be done with it IMO.

Curious: What platform are you on?

> I'm sure you're aware of the WatchService in JDK7.
> It would be utterly amazing if you could detect at runtime that the code is running on Java 7 and then use the WatchService as the backend for DefaultFileMonitor.
