Hello,
As I understand it, the file watcher service introduced with JDK 7 uses
native (near real-time) notifications on Windows and Linux, but polling on
Mac OS X.
First off, is this correct?
Yes, polling
Second, if it is, what is the polling interval on Mac OS X (and can it be
configured)?
Don't know
This was part of nio.2 for JDK 7. There a couple mailing lists for that.
nio-...@openjdk.java.net
nio-disc...@openjdk.java.net

Hi Christopher,
We are aware that polling in Mac platform is not performance-friendly,
and we are going to enhance it with the native facility provided on Mac
platform, like kqueue-based WatchService. Thanks!
