JDK-4313887 - New I/O: Improved filesystem interface
Description

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.
