I have used JNotify on the windows. But I am getting weird exception.
An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d94200c, pid=22944, tid=20528
Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.6.0_01-b06 mixed mode, sharing) Problematic frame: V [jvm.dll+0xd200c]
So I wanted to know some subsitute of the JNotify. API which looks change in file system and works fine windows and linux.
We had the same problems. Because we used JNA anyways, we just used the FileMonitor example from this framework. Works like a charm.
