The following url:

Stipulates that you can easily use the “NetworkInterface” class in the following manner:

    NetworkInterface nif = NetworkInterface.getByName("bge0");
    Enumeration nifAddresses = nif.getInetAddresses();
    Socket soc = new java.net.Socket ();
    soc.bind (nifAddresses.nextElement ());
    soc.connect (new InetSocketAddress (address, port));

The bind method does not, as yet, accept “InetAddress” as a parameter. The correct code thus, is still:
    soc.bind ((SocketAddress) new InetSocketAddress (nifAddresses.nextElement (), 0));

Also, in light of stricter rules, I think the following line be replaced,
    Enumeration nifAddresses = nif.getInetAddresses();

with:

    Enumeration <InetAddress> nifAddresses = nif.getInetAddresses ();
