In the same spirit than ReplicaID, the UUID class has been written when Directory was JDK 1.4 based.

Should we move to the Java 5 java.util.UUID implementation now ?

Is there any constraints that forbid us to do so ? Also, if we change, should we keep the UUID generator, or consider that we will always use the UUID instances directly ?

Thanks !

PS: We have foru classes, UUID, DefaultUUID, UUIDFactory, DefaultUUIDFactory. Question : why do we have a factory and an interface when we only have one implementation ? Is it something we should keep, or is it just overkilling ? (I'm not trying to argue, just trying to know what is the best practice here) Thanks !
