Description
Now that DatagramSocket has been updated by JDK-8237352 to support joining multicast group, this sentence in the API class level documentation of MulticastSocket is obsolete and should be removed:

"A MulticastSocket is a (UDP) DatagramSocket, with additional capabilities for
 joining "groups" of other multicast hosts on the internet."
