I'm currently trying to use the RecursiveLeafOnlyDirectoryScanner but looking at the code and javadoc comments, it isn't suitable for me as I will be wanting to poll a large number of directories and associated files.

I then saw with interest that there's a spring-integration-nativefs module in the git sandbox.

Is there any way (and is it ready) that I can use this code to try and set up a native monitoring system that will certainly be more efficient than the scanning route? If not, is there a release date that you guys have in mind?

Cheers!
