Identity.get() should create a more meaningful RuntimeException message
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBREM-1104
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1104
             Project: JBoss Remoting
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 2.5.0.SP2 (Flounder) , 2.2.2.SP11
            Reporter: Ron Sigal
            Assignee: Ron Sigal
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.2.2.SP12, 2.5.0.SP3 (Flounder)


When org.jboss.remoting.ident.Identity.get() fails in the call to InetAddress.getLocalHost(), it throws a RuntimeException like:

   java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception creating identity: myhost: myhost

This problem has been associated, at least in some cases, with problems in the /etc/hosts file.  The problem is that the message gives no clue that the underlying problem is a host name problem.
