Its a bad idea not to have /bin/sh since many scripts may depend on it.
On most modern machines, this is a link to /bin/bash.

This could be just a permission problem like the error message said.

Thats another bad idea, specially since it is self-executing. You should
never edit something if its your system that is broken. Instead, you
could execute it like this:

. ./j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin

or

bash ./j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin
