Java UUID Generator (JUG) is a Java library for generating Universally Unique IDentifiers, UUIDs (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID). It can be used either as a component in a bigger application, or as a standalone command line tool. JUG generates UUIDs according to the IETF UUID draft specification. JUG supports 3 original official UUID generation methods as well as later additions (v6, v7)

There is a newer version: 5.1.0

Show newest version


Package that contains core (non-optional) Java UUID Generator API classes.
Implementation classes can be found from under {@link com.fasterxml.uuid.impl}.
These classes should be usable on JDK 1.4 and up, and have no external dependencies;
except that any functionality that uses Ethernet-address discovery requires JDK 1.6.

The primary point is {@link com.fasterxml.uuid.Generators}, used to construct actual
generators, based on method to use and some optional arguments.


Note: earlier JUG versions (up to 2.0) supported older JDKs (1.1); 1.4 is now needed
since {@link java.util.UUID} is used as a core abstraction.
