Java lib for monitoring directories or individual files based on the java.nio.file.WatchService.
Get it from Maven Central and see the ExampleMain class for how to use this library.
This code was originally (in 2015) written for https://github.com/vorburger/HoTea, and factored out of it in 2018 for re-use in project https://github.com/vorburger/ch.vorburger.osgi.gradle.

- commons-io with its File Monitor: Polling, not using Java 7+ NIO WatchService.

- https://www.teamdev.com/jxfilewatcher: Commercial, are they serious?!
Last but not least, https://github.com/vorburger/ch.vorburger.exec is another handy small library from the same author.
