Hi Steve,

The previous message got rejected because of it's size so I have put the test jar here http://www.box.net/shared/rjfyath7lb hope that works.

    True. Could you perform a speed test with the jar file in attachment?

     just execute it like so:

    java -jar changedetection-0.1 dirOne dirTwo dirThree
        Do you really need to include the file content, or can you trust
the OS to update last modified date?
    Not sure, but I know there is a force method on randomaccessfile
    that allows to only force the content or both content and
    metadata to be flushed. Thats why I included the content because
    this allows the modified date not to be updated even when the
    content has changed.

I know it is possible to do this, but unusual in normal development.


        Seems better to just use absolute file path + last modified date.

From our main product branch I ran it on our java source and webapp content. Performance seems to depend HEAVILY on what Windows has cached.

First time:

C:\Working\main\dev>java -jar \temp\changedetection-0.1.jar source webroot
C:\Working\main\dev\source : e48543ab1d4bd97990d70f52000b9595d0c75a88
C:\Working\main\dev\webroot : 0b23e572ac55209733d2564058fc3e553dfa95c9
time taken: PT258.716S

Second time:
C:\Working\main\dev>java -jar \temp\changedetection-0.1.jar source webroot
C:\Working\main\dev\source : e48543ab1d4bd97990d70f52000b9595d0c75a88
C:\Working\main\dev\webroot : 0b23e572ac55209733d2564058fc3e553dfa95c9
time taken: PT8.312S

This is a big project (8,447 files under source and 15,670 files under
webroot), but it still seems like including the content of the files is
prohibitively expensive (at least at first). It would be interesting to see how this works without the file content. I'll be glad to test that for you too.
