This action sets the allow_execmod SELinux boolean. You could do that
from the command line without using system-config-securitylevel as
follows:

# setsebool -P allow_execmod 1

There is no need to reboot after doing this.

However, this is not the best way of solving the problem, as it relaxes
security much more than necessary. A better way would be to set the
SElinux context type of the java libraries to textrel_shlib_t, which
would have the same effect but only for those particular libraries.
