Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`static class`	`UUID.UnknownVersion`	Not standard-version UUIDs.
`static class`	`UUID.V1`	Version 1 UUIDs are those generated using a timestamp and the MAC address of the computer on which it was generated.
`static class`	`UUID.V2`	DCE Security version, with embedded POSIX UIDs.
`static class`	`UUID.V3`	Version 3 UUIDs are those generated by hashing a namespace identifier and name using MD5 as the hashing algorithm.
`static class`	`UUID.V4`	Version 4 UUIDs are those generated using random numbers.
`static class`	`UUID.V5`	Version 5 UUIDs are those generated by hashing a namespace identifier and name using SHA-1 as the hashing algorithm.

    Parameters:
    
    juuid - the UUID
    
    Returns:
    
    a valid UUID created from a UUID
  - fromString
```
public static UUID fromString(java.lang.String name)
```
    Creates a UUID from the string standard representation as described in the toString() method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - A string that specifies a UUID
    
    Returns:
    
    A UUID with the specified value
    
    Throws:

  - getMostSignificantBits
```
public long getMostSignificantBits()
```
    Returns the most significant 64 bits of this UUID's 128 bit value.

  - variant
```
public int variant()
```
    The variant field determines the layout of the UUID.
    The variant field consists of a variable number of the most significant bits of octet 8 of the UUID.
    The variant number has the following meaning:
    
    '''0''': Reserved for NCS backward compatibility
    
    '''2''': RFC-4122
    
    '''6''': Reserved, Microsoft Corporation backward compatibility

    Returns:
    
    The variant of this UUID
    
    See Also:
    
    RFC-4122
  - version
