Need way to set operating system file permissions from Java

Name: mt13159 Date: 01/30/2000


Currently there is no way to set operating system file permissions
   from Java. The java.io.FilePermission class added in Java 2 only
   refers to permissions within the Java world; it does not affect what
   the operating system sees. A new class, or new methods in the
   java.io.File class, is needed to do that.
