Okay so a specific API makes this work as intended.

What I can't determine is whether this may have an adverse effect on anyone using an "unusual" path to jexec, that `/proc/self/exe` will report differently. To minimise the impact on existing users can this be implemented as a fallback if the initial attempt to locate `java` fails?
