UUID compliance with RFC 4122

Hi,

I was looking to see if UUID generation API in JDK 1.5 util package uses algorithms mandated in RFC 4122.

I could not find this specific information in API documents of JDK 1.5, or in the archives, with general googling.

It would be great help to get some direction leading to this info.

The 1.6 API [url=http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html]mentions RFC4122[/url], which differs from the 1.5 API, and given that Google also found a number of 3rd party Java libraries for generating RFC4122-compiant UUIDs, I woudl say that 1.5 doesn't use those algorithms. You could look at the source code and see for sure...
