I was aware it was the well-known port number (80) that requires the
superuser privilege, not the protocol. And I know you can expose HTTP
on any port, and how to form the URL. Just didn't express myself
clearly, I guess.
I realize that I will probably need to make the port number configurable
to a number in the private or reserved ranges. Just looking for a
"cheap way out" for now ...

Is there a property in Info.plist that I can set to give my Java

No.
Or some other simple way to run a Java app with superuser privileges?
No.
My application exposes a small, low-function, secure HTTP server (this
is not the main function of my application, but it is needed to
support a master/remote interface between machines on a local area
network in a user's home). This requires superuser privileges.
No, it doesn't. Use a nonprivileged port (above 1024). An HTTP server
can run on any port - 80 is just the default. An HTTP server running on
port 8080 would be accessed at
http://localhost:8080/
for example.
