   I'm sorry I don't understand the problem. You changed MyResource.java and it ran the target which is expected. What did it not do that you expected it to do?

   Please consider this setup:

   mkdir test-ant-watch
   touch build.xml
   mkdir -p src/folder
   touch src/folder/File.java
   cp /foo/bar/watch-task-1.0.jar .
   

   build.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <project basedir="." default="deploy" name="RapidRabbit">
      <taskdef name="watch" 
         classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.watch.WatchTask"
         classpath="watch-task-1.0.jar" />
      <target name="init">
         <watch>
            <when>
               <target>
                  <echo>Something has happened.</echo>
                  <echo>A file has changed! ${watched.file}</echo>
               </target>
               <fileset dir="src" includes="**/*" />
            </when>
         </watch>
      </target>
   </project>
   

   When I run ant init I get A file has changed! /foo/bar/test-ant-watch/File.java and not A file has changed! /foo/bar/test-ant-watch/src/folder/File.java.

   Ok so the sub-directories under the directory you are watching aren't triggering the target? I can try and take a look at that. This going to be operating system sensitive. What OS are you using?

   Did you had time to look at the issue? Do you have any tips where I can look at?

   You are using the WatchService and it does not do it work recursively by default.
   This class could be used to watch directory and sub items: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/examples/WatchDir.java
