UUID MAC configuration

[Pradeep Arumalla <pr...@gmail.com>]

hi all,
I am using VersionOneGenerator  and I see that we need to configure the MAC
addres in the xml file , I mean the uuid.state file .It works locally .But
how do I give to other teams and ask them to work without having to enter
the MAC address in the uuid.state file.I mean is there any better way to
detect the MAC address automatically ?  *My Idea is to give a jar file to
different teams in my company to  generate UUID's. *

Thanks
Pradeep

Getting the MAC address is problematic - normally it requires native 
code (which may use OS-level function calls or a native SNMP API, which 
is one of the approaches I have seen).

Two options:

1. If you are using JDK 6, you may be in luck: see 
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/NetworkInterface.html#getHardwareAddress()
2. Take a look at JUG (http://jug.safehaus.org/Home), which has a JNI 
portion for reading the MAC address

Thanks
Rory
