When I looked into this, it didn't look like there was any way in the Java API to change the file permissions of an individual file. Or maybe I just didn't find it.

But if you want ALL files to be rw-rw-rw- instead of rw-r----, you could set the umask for your java process. You could edit the launch script for your app (or the launch script for WOTaskd if you want it to apply to all apps, or is that just all apps launched by Monitor? Not sure) to use the unix 'umask' command before actually launching the app. See the man page for umask.

Of course, the app launch script will get rewritten on every compile. I'm not sure how you'd really integrate this umask thing into your build cycle. (There should also put umask in your own .profile, or whatever OSX might use to do the same thing, to set the umask for processes launched from an interactive shell) But anyway setting the umask to provide the mask for ALL files created by your Java process is the only way I've found to effect the permissions of created files.
