I would like to use the WatchService API as mentioned in this link:http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/notification.html
After reading around, I found out that WatchService is part of the NIO class which is scheduled for JDK 7. So, it is in beta form. It's fine.
http://jdk7.java.net/download.html has the JDK which I downloaded and extracted. I got a bunch of folders. I don't know what to do with them.

Then, I read around some more and found that some nice group of people created JDK 7 as a binary so someone like me can install it easily. It is called Open JDK:http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/
So, I downloaded the .dmg file and install it. Then I open 'Java Preference' and see that OpenJDK7 is available.
So, now I feel that I can start trying out WatchService API. From the tutorial in the first link, the author gave a .java file to test it out first and make sure that it is running. Here is the link to the file:http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/examples/WatchDir.java
So, I boot up Eclipse (actually I use STS) and create a new Java project and choose JaveSE-1.7 in the 'use an execution environment JRE:'. Under the src folder, I copy pasted the WatchDir.java file.
And I still see tons of squiggly red lines. All the 'import.java.nio.*' are all red and I cannot run it as a Java app.
