Yes.   Feed the VM either random, or standardized (every TOR VM has the
same "fingerprint") data.

As mentioned earlier, a firewall (in this case within the VM) can block
all connections, except between TOR and TOR entry modes; the VM
insulates any unique user info from a roving plugin/extension. The VM
also protects the host, should the application within be compromised
(e.g. memory attack).

JAVA is capable of more identity-revealing mischief than JS; within a VM
you could safely run even JAVA.
