Some platforms do not support multicasting, but the current spec requires that

java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup and java.nio.channels.MulticastChannel.join
method specifications should be updated to indicate that an exception will be
thrown if invoked on a platform that does not support multicasting.

This looks okay. For MultlicastChannel then "When IGMPv2 is supported
then it may" might be clearer as " When IGMPv2 is supported then the
operating system may".
