        The socket, server-socket, and datagram-socket channel classes in the
        java.nio.channels package rely upon the corresponding socket, server-socket,
        and datagram-socket classes in the java.net package for operations such as
        binding and option configuration.

        Many developers find this dependency counterintuitive and have asked for the
        ability to write networking code without having to mix the java.net socket and
        java.nio socket-channel APIs. Revising the socket-channel classes so that they
        can be used alone would also resolve some tensions in the implementation and
        the specification, and would make life easier for those (relatively few)
        developers who need to write their own SelectorProvider implementations.
