cd to the directory containing the .class file and do:

javap sun.net.DatagramSocket

Unfortunately, this doesn't give you the signature of the methods, but does not 
provide you with any useful information about how the individual arguments 
should be interpreted.  Which is why it would be nice if there were a javac 
option to force /** comments into the .class file, which javap could then use.

I never saw a comment (no pun intended) from the java development team 
regarding this possibility when it was first mentioned.  Arthur et. al. -- do 
you have any comments on this?
