Java 7 Watch Service ENTRY_CREATE triggered before file is written

Question

I have a watch service watching a directory. Once files are created, I\'m processing the directory and updating a tree view.

This works fine on ENTRY_DELETE

Answer 1

I had the same issue, I added few seconds delay once the event is created before processing. Since Other application used to write the file and it used to take couple of seconds to flush the content and release the file.
