How did you install java?  The error message suggests that java itself is
not executable, or is being blocked by the apparmor policy for the snap.

The snappy approach to this problem is to bundle openjdk in your snap
package.  At that point there would be no permissions problems since your
app would be allowed to execute the binaries that are shipped as part of the
snap package itself.

As for running as superuser: why does your package need this?  A snap
application package won't have root on a snappy system, but there may be
another solution for snappy to mediate access to whatever privileged
resources your application needs.
