Package jug: Information

JUG is a pure java UUID generator, that can be used either
as a component in a bigger application, or as a standalone
command line tool (a la 'uuidgen'). UUIDs are 128-bit
Universally Unique IDentifiers (aka GUID, Globally Unique
IDentifier used in Windows world).
JUG generates UUIDs according to the IETF UUID draft
specification (and further clarified in UUID URN name space
IETF draft ) 8211; all 3 'official' types defined by the
draft 8211; is fast, portable and Open Source (as well as
Free Software ).
You can use JUG in your application according to the
license terms of LGPL (Lesser General Public License); or,
from version 2.0 on, ASL.
From version 1.0.0 on, native code (invoked via JNI) for
accessing Ethernet MAC address is included with Jug
distribution. Big thanks to Paul Blankenbaker and DJ Hagberg
(amongst others) for their code contributions!
Note that using this functionality is optional: onlys
time+location - based generation needs MAC address, and
even with it, one can just pass the address from a
configuration file.
