How to listen on file directory if file changed/added/deletd in java 6

Question

I googled for it and found java 7 has inbuilt support for it For example :- http://java.dzone.com/news/how-watch-file-system-changes

But did not get anywhere how to support it on java 6?

Some guys at Directory listener in Java suggesetd for Jnotify, Apache VFS etc I can go for them provided java 6 does not provide something off the shelf?

Answer 1

As far as I know, this isn't possible in Java 6. Your best shot is to go for Apache VFS.
