Description

When watching a directory on a mapped-network-drive, a NullpointerException occurs

org.apache.felix.fileinstall - In main loop, we have serious trouble
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.toWindowsPath(WindowsPath.java:373) [na:1.7.0_79]

Watcher.java

Path name = ev.context(); // <- returns null
Path child = dir.resolve(name);

Usecase: I need to specify a personal-network-drive because of user-passwords which get passed to ConfigAdmin.
