Hi Uwe,
Welcome to Harmony community! It's very great news to us the Harmony
Project! Thank you very much in advance!
Yes Harmony currently have no Java7 branch yet but we can quickly
create one. With your code we have a big step towards jdk7 feature
completion.
To contribute to Harmony, you may have to fill ACQ and ICLA, I suppose
it won't be a big problem for you ( please refer:
http://harmony.apache.org/contribution_policy.html). And as a bulk
contribution, there is some process:
1. Will be donated via the project bug tracking system (JIRA) as a
contribution under the Apache License
2. Will be accompanied by a Software Grant or CCLA which will be
registered with the Apache Incubator
3. Will be registered in the Apache Harmony Bulk Contribution Repository
via a Bulk Contribution
Checklist<http://harmony.apache.org/bulk_contribution_checklist.html>
4. Will be made by an Authorized Contributor to Harmony (defined above)
Please mail if you have any questions. Looking forwards your
contribution. Let's cheer for this great time!

> Hi there,
>
> I'm the author of jpathwatch (http://jpathwatch.wordpress.com), a library
> that implements the JDK 7 WatchService API, allowing Java programs to
> monitor directories without polling. It natively supports Windows, Linux,
> FreeBSD and OSX, with fallbacks for unsupported platforms and architectures.
>
> jpathwatch supports JDK 5 and up, however, with JDK 7 jpathwatch will
> become somewhat obsolete (since JDK 7 obviously implements it's own
> WatchService API, together with the other nio2 features).
>
> I'd be willing to donate jpathwatch to the Apache Harmony project.
> jpathwatch's API uses the same class interfaces and method signatures as the
> JDK7 WatchService API, it's only the package names that are different, which
> should be easy to change to fit into Harmony.
> jpathwatch uses native libraries (implementing very thin wrappers around
> native OS functions), these will have to be integrated as well, which I
> think should also be quite trivial.
>
> Please let me know if there's interest in such a donation.

> Cheers,
