--- Comment #1 from Harald Eilertsen <haraldei-freebsdbugz@anduin.net> ---
Did a quick scan through the OpenJDK sources, and found the following:

The most important use of /dev/fd is to be able to close any extra file
descriptors that for some reason don't have the O_CLOEXEC flag set when a n=
ew
process is forked.

/proc seems to be a bit more involved, and is used by the JVM for some memo=
ry
management, and determining system characteristics of certain architectures.
(PowerPC, s390, at least.) Not sure what impact it has to remove it, but the
effects may not immediately be obvious.
