Intializing a new Java VirtualMachine object

I am trying to initialize a new Java VirtualMachine object. This will be used to open and run a project inside of my existing Netbeans project. I am getting stuck at trying to initialize the Virtual Machine though. Here is what I have:

     Connection c;
     VirtualMachineManager vmm=Bootstrap.virtualMachineManager(); 
    try {
        vmm.createVirtualMachine(c);
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(MyProg.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

I don't know how to initialize the "Connection c" variable, and I can't fine any examples online.
