One very small yet very useful potential enhancement.
It would be very handy to be able to specify a NULL/bit-bucket source/destination for pipes. For the target process' input, the user can generally (I believe) just close the stream, but for output, there isn't really a good option. While this is possible to achieve by redirecting to /dev/null on UNIX-likes and NUL (iirc) on Windows, having to do platform detection to decide where this device is seems overly cumbersome.
Having a ProcessBuilder.Redirect#DISCARD or similar would be quite useful, and should be fairly straightforward.
