I don't think it is possible. If you can create it, anyone can.

Work with Local time and Local machine's IP address. Search on the web for free sourcecode.

If you just want a unique address for the machine, ie) inside the machine, then the timestamp and memory address of the object together should be nice and unique.
However if you want a GUID in the MS sense, then go do some searching to see if someone has written a dll that you can natively access through Java. Java itself can't see the MAC address on the modem/NIC which I think is essential for a GUID. Not too sure about it all, there have been previous posts to codeguru on this, so try a search.
