Intriducing NIO functionality to Java 1.4

[Dehan De Croos]

Hi Remi,
I know, Remi this is my first job out of college :(. Sad that I am not
developing for the cutting edge. The requirement  demands that it be
compatible to the java 1.4 environment but some environments do have as new
as JAVA 8. Polling i quite expensive Isnt it. Wondering how its introduced
in the OpenJDK source. any pointers on how I can read the source?

best regards,
*Dehan de Croos*
