Hi,

on windows, it is simple to detect if file was copied or is copying..
You should start thread and check if you can obtain lock on file if not 
you sleep on some period and then try again..

Try:
FileChannel fileChannel = file.getChannel();
 fileLock = fileChannel.tryLock();
            if (fileLock != null){
                System.out.println("File is locked");
                accessTheLockedFile();
            }

Here is link with sample code:

The problem is on linux where you can obtain lock on copying file..
We solved this problem by renaming file with correct extension after copying
was complete...
