Source of Flume NG for tailing files in a directory. This plugin is based on jinoos (jinoos@gmail.com) https://github.com/jinoos/flume-ng-extends Is refactored to support logs rotate in windows and linux, and the code has been cleaned to much more simple working, and apache.common.vfs2 dependency has been replaced with the native java 7 java.nio library. Thanks for the inspiration.
