Re: Does this make sense?

Show key headers only | View raw

BTW: A close() would be also a needed option for 
java.net.Socket access that is in progress, since 
they don't react on interrupt(). Only some java.nio
 
can do it. But they just hook into the interrupt()
and install a closer... Simple check out where
this package private method of Thread is used:

    void blockedOn(Interruptible b)

I don't know whether a WatchService also installs such 
a closer while in progress. blockOn is accessed indirectly
via SharedSecrets.getJavaLangAccess in the class

AbstractInterruptibleChannel. But since the interface
of WatcherService says, WatchKey take() throws 
InterruptedException, I guess interrupt() is nevertheless

supported by a WatcherService...
