[ID] UUID in JDK 1.5
FYI: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jcp/beta1/apidiffs/java/util/UUID.html
Seems to me that it would make sense to have code in our library that
provides a compatible interface.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.
Ditto, makes sense to me as well. It should be easy enough to do. I still
need to implement the version 3 uuid generation. Currently, we have version
1 and 4 (version 2 is reserved for backward compatibility.) The jdk 1.5
covers versions 3 and 4 (btw: thanks Noel, I hadn't seen this.)
--
I wanted to post a "next steps"/to-do to get any thoughts on it:
1) Basic clean up. This is complete except the patches I'd sent caused some
issues due to eol:CRLF.
Need to fix.
2) Part of the patches I'd sent contained the option to indicate
if Random or SecureRandom should be used in the version 4 generator.
I will separate into a separate patch;
or commit on my own depending on time-frames.
3) Make the modification to mirror the jdk 1.5 api
(return NotYetImplemented from the version 3 calls until (4))
4) Create the version 3 implementation.
5) As Phil indicated getting stability data from more and varied tests is
probably in order.
I'm thinking I might set up a long running multi-client test just for
assurance sake.
More unit tests.
Performance data would be nice.
6) ... any thoughts?

Noel,
I agree with you, and I don't see anything that would be difficult for us
to provide there. We could fairly easily extend o.a.c.id.UUID to match
the JDK 1.5 API. Am I missing anything, Tim?
