----------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe I have an even better idea: Let's ditch UUIDUtils and create ByteUtils
instead! Proposed API:
{noformat}
byte[] ByteUtils.getBytes(TYPE value);
void ByteUtils.write(TYPE value, byte[] bytes, int offset);
TYPE ByteUtils.readTYPE(byte[] bytes);
TYPE ByteUtils.readTYPE(byte[] bytes, int offset);
{noformat}
Proposed initial implementations for TYPE: short, int, long, UUID
Byte sequence generated as described for DataInput/DataOutput (big endian).

> A UUID represents 16 bytes. In some situation (e.g. using DBs that do not
> have native support for the type UUID) it is necessary to use directly the
> bytes. The JDK does not support the transformation from UUID to bytes and
> back, therefore I'd like to add UUIDUtils with the two proposed methods.
