Is there a platform-indepenent way of setting file permissions with gradle?

Question

I am developing my program on redhat 6 and I set my permissions in Gradle with

commandLine 'chmod', '-R', '775', '<myFolder>'

This is great but it will not work on Windows. Does Gradle have a platform-independent way of setting program permissions?

I don't think it's possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/592448/c-how-to-set-file-permissions-cross-platform?rq=1 — Pavel, Jun 30 '14 at 19:51

The way gradle is implemented you should be able to write your own tasks (or plugins if needed). And Java should have a way to set file permissions platform-independent.

You can even use dependencies for your gradle plugin via buildscript {}.

Maybe you need a seperate plugin for that, more information on http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html
