Hi there, Yep, I've written it pretty much all myself. There are two (IMHO minor) sources of external influence (besides the official JDK7 beta docs):
* There has been one occasion when someone contributed a patch which extended the WindowsPathWatchService implementation to handle more than 63 watched directories. I modified it a fair bit before it went in. * For a while I had a modified version of WatchDir.java [1] example in the test driver. The code is part of the Java tutorial [2] on Sun/Oracle's web site (look for 'WatchDir example' on the page to find the link). Other than that there is no external influence I can think of. Is that clean enough?
