What version of Java will IO 2.0 be targeting? As I understand it, the next version will target Java 5 compatibility, in which case the file monitoring functionality may be beneficial to users who will not be transitioning to Java 7 soon. I personally think this would be great functionality and would like to see it retained/included.
