Thanks for posting the changes for review, Alexey, and addressing most of the issues raised in the previous round of feedback. 
The content changes look fine for the most part to me, and I appreciate the effort to clean up acronyms, and terminology.

Looking at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~azhebel/8016767/webrev/src/linux/doc/man/java.1.udiff.html
I found two bits that jumped out:

\-client 
-Select the Java HotSpot Client VM. 
+Selects the Java HotSpot VM client. 

 \-server 
-Select the Java HotSpot Server VM. 
+Selects the Java HotSpot VM server. 

What's the reason for that change?

 \-showversion 
-Display version information and continue. (See also \f3\-version\fP.) 
+Displays version information and continue. 

-Display version information and exit. (See also \f3\-showversion\fP.) 
+Displays version information and exit. See also the \f3\-showversion\fP option. 

I assume these should be 'continues' and 'exits' to follow along with the move to 'Displays'?

cheers,
