This is not a "Visual C++", or even a "C++" feature - it's a Windows OS 
feature. And no, there's nothing like that in Java.

Java generally doesn't include features that are found only in a single 
OS, and are extremely specific to that OS implementation (like the 
Windows ChangeNotification APIs, etc.).

If you really need to use extremely Windows-specific features, write a 
JNI wrapper, and call that. Your program will then only run on Windows, 
but that's apparently what you want, so that's OK..
