Howdy, You use it all the time if you do configureAndWatch() for log4j. It has a concrete implementation as well, I think (PropertyWatchdog or something like that). The name of the class pretty much explains it: watch over a file and fire an event if the file changes. It's a common pattern with dozens of implementations all over the place.
