I think you'll have to use the slightly more complicated
Factory.createResource(String resourceClassName, FeatureMap
parameterValues) method.

If you are doing this a lot, you probably want to write your own
convenience method along these lines (untested code with the usual
disclaimers, will need some try/catch, etc.):

public Document plainTextDocument(String stuff) {
  FeatureMap parameters = Factory.newFeatureMap();
  parameters.put(Document.DOCUMENT_STRING_CONTENT_PARAMETER_NAME,
    stuff);

  // might not need both of the following
  // I can't remember
  parameters.put(Document.DOCUMENT_MIME_TYPE_PARAMETER_NAME,
    "text/plain");
  parameters.put(Document.DOCUMENT_MARKUP_AWARE_PARAMETER_NAME,
    false);

  String rcn = "gate.corpora.DocumentImpl";
  Resource document = Factory.createResource(rcn, parameters);
  return (Document) document;
}
