-------------------------------
Summary: Using WatchService in Tailer instead of polling
Key: IO-470
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-470
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Jeremiah Orr
Fix For: 2.5
Tailer would benefit from using Java 7's WatchService to detect file changes
instead of polling at a set interval. Tailer could respond quicker to changes,
and it would save the system from constant polling. This of course would mean
that commons-io would require Java 7.
I don't know what the future release plans are for commons-io; if there's an
upcoming version that will require Java 7, I'll happily make this change myself.
