It looks like you have made good progress. I have not tried your file 
system provider yet but is the WatchService implementation something 
that you would be willing to contribute to OpenJDK? I don't know if you 
have tried to run the unit tests that in the 
test/java/nio/file/WatchService directory but it would be interesting to 
see if it passes these tests.
