Using inotify (for Linux) may be interesting.
Inotify is a linux kernel API which trigger events on filesystem changes :
- file created.
- file modified.
- file renamed.
- file deleted.
This way, Archiva could trigger a "mini-scan" only when it is usefull.
There are 2 projects providing bindings for Java :
