I had a look at the existing code in the jar tool. It appears that it doesn't run with a SecurityManager - there's direct calls to `System.getProperty()` in some places in the code. So I think just calling `System.getProperty()` should be fine. When this PR goes into a published state for review, I'm sure others who have more knowledge about this area will help decide.
