/**
 * FileAlterationObserver represents the state of files below a root directory,
 * checking the filesystem and notifying listeners of create, change or
 * delete events.
 * 

* To use this implementation: *

    *
  • Create {@link FileAlterationListener} implementation(s) that process * the file/directory create, change and delete events
  • *
  • Register the listener(s) with a {@link FileAlterationObserver} for * the appropriate directory.
  • *
  • Either register the observer(s) with a {@link FileAlterationMonitor} or * run manually.
  • *
* *

Basic Usage

* Create a {@link FileAlterationObserver} for the directory and register the listeners: *
 *      File directory = new File(new File("."), "src");
 *      FileAlterationObserver observer = new FileAlterationObserver(directory);
 *      observer.addListener(...);
 *      observer.addListener(...);
 * 
* To manually observe a directory, initialize the observer and invoked the * {@link #checkAndNotify()} method as required: *
 *      // intialize
 *      observer.init();
 *      ...
 *      // invoke as required
 *      observer.checkAndNotify();
 *      ...
 *      observer.checkAndNotify();
 *      ...
 *      // finished
 *      observer.finish();
 * 
* Alternatively, register the oberver(s) with a {@link FileAlterationMonitor}, * which creates a new thread, invoking the observer at the specified interval: *
 *      long interval = ...
 *      FileAlterationMonitor monitor = new FileAlterationMonitor(interval);
 *      monitor.addObserver(observer);
 *      monitor.start();
 *      ...
 *      monitor.stop();
 * 
* *

File Filters

* This implementation can monitor portions of the file system * by using {@link FileFilter}s to observe only the files and/or directories * that are of interest. This makes it more efficient and reduces the * noise from unwanted file system events. *

* Commons IO has a good range of * useful, ready made * File Filter * implementations for this purpose. *

* For example, to only observe 1) visible directories and 2) files with a ".java" suffix * in a root directory called "src" you could set up a {@link FileAlterationObserver} in the following * way: *

 *      // Create a FileFilter
 *      IOFileFilter directories = FileFilterUtils.and(
 *                                      FileFilterUtils.directoryFileFilter(),
 *                                      HiddenFileFilter.VISIBLE);
 *      IOFileFilter files       = FileFilterUtils.and(
 *                                      FileFilterUtils.fileFileFilter(),
 *                                      FileFilterUtils.suffixFileFilter(".java"));
 *      IOFileFilter filter = FileFilterUtils.or(directories, files);
 *
 *      // Create the File system observer and register File Listeners
 *      FileAlterationObserver observer = new FileAlterationObserver(new File("src"), filter);
 *      observer.addListener(...);
 *      observer.addListener(...);
 * 
* *

FileEntry

* {@link FileEntry} represents the state of a file or directory, capturing * {@link File} attributes at a point in time. Custom implementations of * {@link FileEntry} can be used to capture additional properties that the * basic implementation does not support. The {@link FileEntry#refresh(File)} * method is used to determine if a file or directory has changed since the last * check and stores the current state of the {@link File}'s properties. * * @see FileAlterationListener * @see FileAlterationMonitor * @version $Id: FileAlterationObserver.java 1686747 2015-06-21 18:44:49Z krosenvold $ * @since 2.0 */ public class FileAlterationObserver implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1185122225658782848L;
