Correct: Java does not provide any permissions-adjusting behavior except
things like "read-only" through the java.io.File class.

On the other hand, the umask of the JVM process should be whatever the
umask was for the shell that started it. So, if the umask is 022, you
should get files that are readable by anyone. Is that not what you are
experiencing, epicwinter?
