The polling WatchService records the last modified date of each file 
when you register the directory. If you modify the file quickly that 
doesn't cause the modified time to change (and granularity is 1s) then 
the change won't be notified. It would be interested to put in a 
sleep(2000) after you create the file and then verify that you get the 
modify event consistently.
