You can use a MD5 MessageDigest to obtain a 16-byte array of data, and then
pass it to a Base64 encoder.
Classes to use are:
MessageDigest MD5 = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
(then you shall call the method "digest(String)" of you instance of MD5
digest).
and sun.misc.Base64Encoder
(then you shall call the method "encode" on you byte buffer).
I've done it before. If you can wait, I'll find the code I've written and
send it to you.
