An ArrayList holds objects (instances of type Object). It does not enforce strong typing. Therefore, you cannot directly set the item at index "i" to vmName (whatever type that variable is defined as).
You will need to cast the object at position "i" to the type of object at each index. Only then can it be queried further.
