W32FileMonitor broken in 3.4.0 about jna HOT 7 CLOSED

AFAIK, the file monitor has never worked on 64-bit windows. You are implying that this worked on windows 64-bit in version 3.3.0 of JNA.

Hi,

After updating from 3.3.0 (b1) (according to jna.jar's manifest file) to 3.4.0 FileListener.fileChanged() no longer gets called.
Below is a simplified piece of code that I used for testing this issue. I'm using Windows7 64bit and jdk1.6.0_27 32bit.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
FileMonitor fm = FileMonitor.getInstance();
FileListener fl = new FileListener() {

       @Override
       public void fileChanged(FileEvent fe) {
           System.out.println(fe.getFile().getAbsolutePath() + ", " + fe.getType());
       }
   };
   fm.addFileListener(fl);

   File m = new File("C:/temp/");
   fm.addWatch(m);

   Thread.sleep(30000);
   System.out.println("woke up");

   fm.removeWatch(m);
   fm.removeFileListener(fl);

}

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that it isn't even supposed to work. I'll just return back to using the old version since it works fine for my purposes.

Just to be clear, can you please confirm that it works in 3.3.0?

from jna.

Yes, FileMonitor works in 3.3.0 (b1) (Windows7 64bit and jdk1.6.0_32 32bit).

Made a pull request, #99 with a fix.

@twall, it works well on both 32-bit and 64-bit, fyi

Sorry, #99 was not round enough, proper fix in #100.
