Want to get the code changes to work before changing them again (after discussion today with Dr Bainbridge), since the code was in an almost-working state. This commit: can only set permissions on the selfcontained-jdk after it has been extracted. Was attempting it in at the wrong time during installation, so the result was that setting the exec permissions wasn't having any effect.
