Answer

Java implementation in Amazon RDS has a limited set of permissions. The master user is granted the RDS_JAVA_ADMIN role, which grants a subset of the privileges granted by the JAVA_ADMIN role. java.util.PropertyPermission in RDS Oracle is limited to http.* and https.*
You can see the permissions it has by looking into the permissions granted to RDS_JAVA_ADMIN role using this query

SELECT name FROM dba_java_policy 
   WHERE grantee IN ('RDS_JAVA_ADMIN', 'PUBLIC') 
   AND enabled = 'ENABLED' 
   ORDER BY type_name, name, grantee;

If you must use this functionality in Oracle database, you can consider Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle  https://aws.amazon.com/rds/custom/
