Digging a bit into this: see the below output showing the system property is
in fact still set, but CAS 7.2.0 is ignoring it.
Is this a bug perhaps?

Subject: [cas-user] 7.2.0 System Property for Pathwatcher ignored
Continuing my testing of 7.2.0, I noticed the command line:
-Dorg.apereo.cas.util.io.PathWatcherService=false
Is not longer being set. Java and Tomcat versions and config did not change.
Any ideas on this one?
This works fine in 7.1.5.
Thanks
AJ
