JITSI / java only runs as root

I can run Java applications without any problems (I2P / IPBlock GUI) - both of which run as root with mprotect only disabled on java / javaws binaries.
Is it possible to run JITSI as a normal user ? (at the moment this gives me "/usr/bin/java: Permission denied" - but runs ok as root)
