Using either native code or running a shell command to do it through Runtime

use exec method of this class.

So i will have to use the Runtime class and execute the required command.

That's your best bet, yes. Java doesn't have a way to do this. Have a look around Sourceforge and the like, see if there exists a library that manipulates *nix file permissions from Java, wouldn't surprise me if there was

Sweet! Would you mind posting the code in case someone else has the same problem in the future?
