JxFileWatcher 1.0

Kazmin — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:57:58 GMT

JxFileWatcher leaves its Early Access Program state and becomes available for commercial usage. Our new cross-platform library will allow you to easily add file system events monitoring feature into your application. Using the convenient Java API you can get notifications about file or directory creation, modification and removal events. The provided filtering mechanism will allow you to limit the scope of watching files and events.

During the Early Access Program period we've received a lot of positive feedback and requests for extending a set of supported platforms. Version 1.0 provides support for 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. In the next versions of JxFileWatcher we are going to provide support for Solaris and a new mechanism for file system events watching under Mac OS.

Learn more about JxFileWatcher library or see it in action in the online demo. Discuss the library at our support forums.

JxFileWatcher 1.0 Release Notes

Kazmin — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:42:15 GMT

JxFileWatcher 1.0 contains fixing of problems in file and events filtering that were found in EAP version.

There are several limitations that will be removed in one of the next versions of JxFileWatcher:

Watcher does not work for a folder that contains more than 10 000 files (Platforms: Mac OS X).
JxFileWatcher does not handle the situation when a watched folder is unmounted at runtime (for example, when you watching for events of a removable (flash) drive). (Platforms: all).
JxFileWatcher does not support hard links (Platforms: Linux).

Your ideas about improvement of our new library are welcome. If you want to have support for another platform of your choice, just let us know.
