Other things I have noticed is that a little while back chmod added support for Os.isFamily("tandem"). Should this go into chmod/chgrp too? If someone verifies that non-stop supports chgrp and chown in the standard unixy way I'll be glad to patch it as well.
Furthermore, it seems that chgrp and chown really ought to support esentially the same feature set as chmod, but currently chmod has a fair number of additional features. I might flesh out chmod and chgrp, but since that takes more than a few minutes work, I would like to know if this is desired.
Finally, it seems a bit incongruous that chmod is not in optional/unix/ (now that that package exists), and the situation seems ripe for a bit of refactoring, such that AbstractAccessTask.java holds most of the support for these three tasks and each task holds the specific differences. Of course moving a task to another package, brings up back compatability questions at the api level so I am hoping for a discussion of the severity of problems likely from moving chmod. It doesn't seem like the sort of class that is likely to be extended or used in other code, but that might just be my lack of imagination (or need for another coffee).
Oh and do we have any idea when the target date for the first 1.6 beta release is... if this is to be done, I am sure we want the maximum ammount of user testing and feedback on it.
