Description
During the jdk8-b45 SWAT testing, we noticed there is an issue with b45 binary permission
In particular on Linux 32/64, solaris x86, Solaris x64, langtool regression test can not read sa-jdi.jar .   As the result, the swat lang&tool regression fails to run 

E.g of failing error when starting the jdk8-b45 swat langtool regression swat:

#97132: Failed to fetch remote checksum, remote feeder replied: Error while checksumming: FAILED Checksum calculation failed because of connector exception: FS exception <- File is not readable: /java/re/jdk/8/promoted/ea/b45/binaries/linux-i586/lib/sa-jdi.jar <
Same issue under /fastdebug  dirs
Comments
EVALUATION b47 nightly build ws-b47-2012-07-11_382 shows sa-jdi.jar now has the appropriate access permission. I closed this one as the dup of 7175845.

WORK AROUND workaround is to change permisisons by hand, of sa-jdi.jar, which is workable for the promotoed binaries directories affected, but might not be workable for tests that install bundles
