Does your Library has a callback method that informs the Java Application a new USB inserted? Or it has to be done manually using some of thread?

Can your Library be adapted for other drives such C: or D:?

The purpose of this library is to notify a Java Application when an USB storage is inserted or removed.

It uses an internal daemon thread to catch those events. I need to update the README file to include an usage example, but you can see one here: https://github.com/samuelcampos/usbdrivedetector/blob/master/src/test/java/net/samuelcampos/usbdrivedectector/SimpleTest.java

At this moment, this library is based on a pooling mechanism. But I'll try to update it soon in order to catch those events directly from the OS.
