[lang] Some utility classes for generating IDs
I use these to generate IDs for EJBs and in a couple of other ways. Does anyone think they could
be usefully included in a project? I did look around to see if there was something already in
Commons for this, but I didn't see anything.
The IDGenerator interface provides one method, generateID(). A few implementations are provided,
including one that generates 32-character UUIDs. A lookup class is also provided for acquiring an
IDGenerator by name.

Nah, there's actually a jakarta-commons-sandbox project called Patterns.
Stephen used it to do some research work, most of which has ended up in
the Lang tree now:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/pattern/src/java/org/apache/commons/pattern/identifier/
I liked the XML parser, was fun to make, but didn't seem any point in
competing with all the others, NanoXml etc. Weirdly, this is the second
time it's been mentioned this week as a port I made to LPC[Pike-like
language] looks like it might get used somewhere :)

I agree with you. By Patterns were you referring to Betwixt? I checked out your website. Your
tiny XML parser is nice-- I did something very similar about a year ago. -Jeff

There are some ID generating bits in the Commons Sandbox. In the Patterns
project and I think there's one in the Util project.
Neither have yet made their way into a release project yet. I've been
pondering whether something like this would go in DbUtils, but the
database specificness gets quite painful.
So as far as Lang goes, I'm not sure :) They've always seemed a bit above
Lang's basic aims.
