We are pleased to announce the first maintenance release of JxFileWatcher, a cross-platform library for file system events monitoring.

This release is intended to satisfy the needs of our customers, who want to use JxFileWatcher library as an OSGi bundle and who already use JNIWrapper library in their applications. For more details about changes please read the JxFileWatcher 1.0.1 Release Notes page.

The update is already available for download. You can try the new version online using the WebStart Demo.

If you need assistance with using this product or if you want to discuss the library, welcome to our support forum.

JxFileWatcher 1.0

JxFileWatcher leaves its Early Access Program state and becomes available for commercial usage. Our new cross-platform library will allow you to easily add file system events monitoring feature into your application. Using the convenient Java API you can get notifications about file or directory creation, modification and removal events. The provided filtering mechanism will allow you to limit the scope of watching files and events.

During the Early Access Program period we've received a lot of positive feedback and requests for extending a set of supported platforms. Version 1.0 provides support for 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. In the next versions of JxFileWatcher we are going to provide support for Solaris and a new mechanism for file system events watching under Mac OS.

Learn more about JxFileWatcher library or see it in action in the online demo. Discuss the library at our support forums.

JxFileWatcher enters public EAP

We are happy to announce the start of Early Access Program (EAP)* for a new product called JxFileWatcher.

JxFileWatcher is a cross-platform library that provides convenient Java API for monitoring file system events. Using it you can get notifications about file or directory creation, modification and removal events. JxFileWatcher is available for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms and supports both 32 and 64-bit versions of these OS.

Though it is not commercially available yet, you can already download the EAP build and try it. The EAP build is bundled with a one-month evaluation license (expires 17 April, 2009.)

To see the library in action please run the demo application which is available in JxFileWatcher distribution package or see the online demo.

For any help or feedback on how to improve JxFileWatcher further, please use the support forum or e-mail usdirectly.

* Early Access Program (EAP) gives you a first look at the product before it is officially released. It's an exciting opportunity for you to influence the development process and shape the future product with maximum value for you!
While we are doing our best to make your EAP experience and future transition to the release version as easy as possible, we do not guarantee that there will be no public API changes or that certain features will be available in the final product.

Listen to the file system events with JxFileWatcher

A new product called JxFileWatcher is coming soon.

JxFileWatcher is a cross-platform library providing API to listen to file system events and monitor changes inside specified folders.

Using JxFileWatcher you will be able to track all kinds of changes made to specified folders:

• Creation, renaming or removal of files and subfolders
• File size or contents change
• Attributes modifications

Initial release will support Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and will be available early in May.

JxFileWatcher will support two modes with and without administrative privileges. For users without administrative privileges the operating system sets limitation on the number of descriptors opened on *nix platforms (Linux, Mac OS X). Administrative mode removes such limitations.

If you wish to contribute, influence the process or share ideas with us, just let us know.

JExplorer 1.6, JNIWrapper and ComfyJ updates

The year 2006 starts with good news from the JNIWrapper team. Today we are releasing a comprehensive update for the whole product family! This includes:

Major update for JExplorer
JExplorer is now based on the JNIWrapper 3.0 core. This means that JExplorer is supplied with JNIWrapper and ComfyJ - so now you have a complete software package on hand.
But the good news doesn't stop there... JExplorer is no longer split in two editions. From now on there is only one edition available for use (previously known as Professional). If you have either the JExplorer Standard or Professional edition, you can use this new version.
Plus, we've considerably enhanced the JExplorer functionality to make your work even more efficient. For more details, see the What's New section.

Important: JExplorer 1.6 license format has changed. To upgrade your JExplorer 1.5 license to version 1.6 for free, please send us the request.

Improvements update for JNIWrapper and ComfyJ
In the new versions of JNIWrapper and ComfyJ, we've added more capabilities for your work. For more information, check out the JNIWrapper What's New and ComfyJ What's New sections.

More good news is coming soon!
