There are some users that are planning to submit substantive patches.
Like the window utilities, it could be a standalone project if someone
were willing to own and manage it.
Same with the inotify/kqueues implementations, someone's got to own
it. I would think the java IDEs (eclipse, intellij, netbeans) could
pool resources and get a shared file monitor to everyone's benefit,
since they all depend on that sort of functionality to keep the IDE
synched to the FS.

I don't know if you can get inotify working on osx, since it likely
depends on some kernel support.
Great! thanks. Curious, why not apply BSD changes and some kind of
wrapper around the Inotify implementation into the example? Better -
why not make the FileMonitor an incubated project (or part of the
core) rather than 'just' an example? It seems that it provides a
compelling reason to use the jna project ??

Thank you! I have some learning to do... I fear this might be a
little over my head and out of my timeframe, but...
I will be deploying on linux, but developing on osx. Can you/
anyone recommend some entry level reference material for linux and
osx with regard to integrating a FileMonitor-like implementation?
