How to map File.setReadable to NIO Path operations

What is the 'new' way to accomplish File.setReadable independent of platform? Is it PosixFilePermissions or something else?

You should use setPosixFilePermissions method of Files class like:

Set<PosixFilePermission> permissions = new HashSet<PosixFilePermission>();
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OWNER_READ);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OWNER_WRITE);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OWNER_EXECUTE);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.GROUP_READ);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.GROUP_WRITE);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.GROUP_EXECUTE);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OTHERS_READ);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OTHERS_WRITE);
permissions.add(PosixFilePermission.OTHERS_EXECUTE);
Files.setPosixFilePermissions(Paths.get("file.ext"), permissions);
