As far as I remember this is the same with all those native file system
monitors out there, you always have to monitor the directory to get the
create event.
I don't know if I would like to change it, even if it is a valid use
case, at least, it requires some in-depth thoughts ....
@Thorsten: how will your fam behave in such a situation?
Need to double-check but I am pretty sure the jci fam will send send
events for that. Sure it's a special case but the jci fam is
monitoring a java.io.File object. By definition a File object can be a
file or a directory ...and it does not necessarily have to exist. So I
agree with Steven here and this getting events is expected behavior in
my book.
