I completely agree with you. In fact this is the reason I have hardcoded user and group names in our FileObject implementations. May be one thing we can do is to add few methods like changeOwner() and changeGroup() in FileObject interface. It will return true if success. So the current implementations will return false. If the user wants to use a new file system manager which will use JNI, these methods can be overwritten.
