I think you don't need an extra thread. Since
Swing runs anyway in its own thread. 
If you display a non-modal window, the current
thread will not block. And you can perform

the for(;;) loop in the main thread itself, without
starting a thread. The problem is only, how does
the main thread get events from the watcher and
from the window? Well the same way, via interrupt().

So the main thread can detect whether it go a
watcher.take() or whether it got interrupted.
And it can gracefully terminate and close also
whatever resources it has opened. If some tooling

shows an error somewhere, submit a bug report.
Lets see what they say...
