Constructor Details 
VMID 
public  VMID ()
Create a new VMID.  Each new VMID returned from this constructor
 is unique for all Java virtual machines under the following
 conditions: a) the conditions for uniqueness for objects of
 the class java.rmi.server.UID are satisfied, and b) an
 address can be obtained for this host that is unique and constant
 for the lifetime of this object.

Return true if an accurate address can be determined for this
 host.  If false, reliable VMID cannot be generated from this host
Returns: 
true if host address can be determined, false otherwise
