A couple of statements(I usually use IMHO, but this time 'round I'm sure) You cannot tamper with the file's last modified timestamp from java. Hence, making a directory synchronizer is difficult in java. Rsync has some problems with high latency networks. This would be the case with Ramesh's problem.
I have a product almost finished that does this whilst remaining pure java. However, it's on a closed beta so far. If anybody is interested, please email me privately for details.
