Niall Pemberton commented on IO-269:
------------------------------------
With NIO2 in JDK 7 I wouldn't hold out much hope for future file improvements.
Also optional platform specific features really go against the ethos of Java's
write once, run anywhere.
Any reason why reopening is a bad idea on other non-Windoze platforms?

> The Tailer code works on Windows, except that it locks the file against
> deletion or rename.
> The test code fails to detect this, because it fails to check if the file
> deletion succeeds.
> This seems to be a Windows OS issue.
> A possible solution might be to keep closing and re-opening the file.
