UUID Library

I've created a library for generating UUIDs with Java, based on RFC 4122. If you're using Java 1.6, this will use a hardware MAC address to generate a UUID as specified in the RFC. If not, it uses a randomly generated number for the node.

Note that while Java 1.5 added a UUID class, this library uses its own UUID class.

Update: Version 0.9.1 no longer requires Java 1.6 to compile and now runs under Java 1.5. You may also now choose whether or not to use your MAC address as the node value using the built-in generator under Java 1.6.

Download Binary
Download Source

The code is licensed under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.

The binary includes the JAR file and the Javadoc. The JAR file can be "exectued" to run a GUID generator, similar to the Microsoft GUIDGEN.
