[developers] LOGON and java

[David Brodbeck]

In that particular case chmod may not be enough, you may also have to
override (or possibly just unset) the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
That's quite a helpful error message on ant's part, though.  I'm kind of
impressed.  Usually Java build errors are impenetrable. ;)
