Suggestion : Use the downloaded Java to run the Forge install #14

According to FTBTeam/FTB-App#618, it looks like a server installation will leave a broken start script behind if the Forge install fails. This affects Linux but I've also seen it on Windows.

It looks like the Forge install fails if Java isn't installed on the system, though the server installer is in Portable Executable format, not jar format.

I believe this may be counter intuitive to some users and they assume PEs hold dependencies already so they should work OOTB.

I would like to suggest (which seems possible) to download the runtime like it's done right now and to use that runtime to call the Forge installation silently. This would result in success all* the time!

Thanks for considering my suggestion

* When network behaviors and domains are normal for users
