fwiw, https://github.com/mik3hall/trz <https://github.com/mik3hall/trz> is a project of mine mostly related to platform specific, OS X, nio.2 api’s. It even includes FileManager itself since continuing support for that seemed questionable at one time. I gave it a companion class FileHelper to sort of demo that these api’s could be extended. Most of it though was exposing various OS X file api’s as nio.2 file attributes. Didn’t succeed yet in extending it to include a native WatchService. Having an available platform specific filesystem where you can do different things for a particular OS I thought wasn’t a bad idea. Whether awt/desktop would be the place to implement something like that I don’t know. Michael Hall
