How to do this in Java - (not being a Java expert), it appears that the
neccesary classes do exist as per
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22405 .

For the complement to this passive/get approach - see the suggestion for the
set approach in http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22417 .

What Steve tried to say - there is no way to do what you want without either

(1) using native code

or

(2) parse the output of an external executable like ls -l

The later is not without precedent as we do something similar to access
environment variables.

well, to be precise, I was implying without third party native code. I am sure
that java.io goes native at some point, it merely does so without providing any
access to any permission bits other than readonly.

Since most of these properties are operating system specific, it would not be
feasible to implement this in Java without some sort of external support. I'd
prefer not to do that in available

Since this is OS specific, why not do something using an OS specific script?

isn't your argument about scripts not the best reason to do it in ant:

Otherwise, everybody all over the world - with or without adequate scripting
skills - is forced to piece together a hand-knit kind-of-working script.
If it is done here - i) people can remain in the world they are familiar with
(Java/Ant), ii) it undergoes due community review, and iii) since Java is aware
of the os and arch, delicate intricacies can be caught while one might otherwise
copy an inadequate example script from a ill-specified google search?

Well, how exactly are we going to do this in java?
