Two points:
A) The Developer Tools are not installed by default.
B) The bundle-bit is superfluous for recent Finders.

That is, there is little reason to set the bundle-bit, since the Finder
doesn't care and the tool to do it may not be present.

This is critical. Much more important than the bundle-bit.

The command to do it is:
/bin/chmod a+x pathname

But since exec(String) does not do quoting, you must use the String[] form:
String[] chmod = { "/bin/chmod", "a+x", targetPathname };
