Hi,
I've heard that there are some places in xwiki where we need unique
ids (anyone remembers where?).
In any case I've found this JDK 1.5 class which can help us with the
implementation:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html
I'm posting it here for the record.
Thanks

Against it, as it:
- adds another dependency on Java 1.5
I believe 1.5 is a fact of life now...
- only provides Random and Name UUID, no time-based
UUIDs
A better option would be Jug (
http://jug.safehaus.org/), which
provides
more types of UUIDs.
Fine with that. I'm not an expert in that domain so I'll trust you on
this. I just noticed that this framework hasn't been touched for a
while.
Thanks
