Yes you can have multiple JVMs running in a single computer - why would you expect a problem?

Just like any other program you would have to watch out for conflicting use of resources - for example you can't have two Tomcat instances using the same ports.

In a tomcat I have a web application deployed , from that application can I start a JVM ?. ie to execute a job I need a separate JVM .
I know we can start a process which will be a separate JVM . A thread with in the tomcat JVM ( which may be costly operation ) .
Is there any JVM which allows a Virtual machine with in the same Virtual machine . Hope you are clear

I am assuming you mean virtualization like VmWare or Xen? Then no, the JVM doesn't do that level of virtualization.

There is little to be gained by starting a separate JVM because execution will still be limited by the CPU / memory / IO / etc of the host computer.

Unless your separate process requires a huge amount of memory, you might as well start this extra process as a Thread controlled by Tomcat. If there are other machines on your network which have free resources, Java has lots of ways to communicate with processes elsewhere on the network.
