hello.  let me first say that if i've chosen the wrong newsgroup for 
this question, please advise me as to a better choice.  thanks.

now, i'm wondering if there is a java API equivalent to the Visual C++ 
"FindFirstChangeNotification() / FindNextChangeNotification()", which 
allows you to write a simple thread that essentially camps out on a 
given (single) directory or sub-directory tree looking for changes like: 
file rename, attribute changes, creation, deletion, etc., and allows the 
waiting thread to respond to such changes?
