[Solaris] JVM is blissfully unaware of the Fair Share Scheduler

The Fair Share Scheduler was introduced in Solaris 9 but if it is used to run a JVM with thread priorities enabled, the JVM's attempts to manage thread priorities fail. This is because the JVM uses low-level scheduler interfaces (priocntl(2)) without catering for FSS.
