No too often. > What people usually want is o-w, go-r, or a+x, all of which you can do from > java.io.File. I'm not sure how common different permissions for group and others would be, which I don't think you could achieve with the File API. > Note that JDK 7 has APIs permitting full control over file attributes: Which is even further in the future. Like I said, such a task would be a nice alternative but won't be able to replace the current tasks completely. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
