java.util.UUID.randomUUID（）;

其他答案都是正确的，尤其是斯蒂芬·C的这个答案。

走出Java

出于安全考虑，在Java中生成UUID值仅限于版本4(随机)。

如果你想要其他版本的uuid，一种方法是让你的Java应用程序通过调用JVM之外的方法来生成uuid:

Command-line utilityBundled with nearly every operating system. For example, uuidgen found in Mac OS X, BSD, and Linux. Database serverUse JDBC to retrieve a UUID generated on the database server.For example, the uuid-ossp extension often bundled with Postgres. That extension can generates Versions 1, 3, and 4 values and additionally a couple variations: uuid_generate_v1mc() – generates a version 1 UUID but uses a random multicast MAC address instead of the real MAC address of the computer. uuid_generate_v5(namespace uuid, name text) – generates a version 5 UUID, which works like a version 3 UUID except that SHA-1 is used as a hashing method. Web ServiceFor example, UUID Generator creates Versions 1 & 3 as well as nil values and GUID.

这取决于你想要什么样的UUID。

The standard Java UUID class generates Version 4 (random) UUIDs. (UPDATE - Version 3 (name) UUIDs can also be generated.) It can also handle other variants, though it cannot generate them. (In this case, "handle" means construct UUID instances from long, byte[] or String representations, and provide some appropriate accessors.) The Java UUID Generator (JUG) implementation purports to support "all 3 'official' types of UUID as defined by RFC-4122" ... though the RFC actually defines 4 types and mentions a 5th type.

关于UUID类型和变体的更多信息，维基百科中有一个很好的总结，RFC 4122和其他规范中有详细的信息。

用一个例子来扩展Mark Byers的回答:

import java.util.UUID;

public class RandomStringUUID {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
        System.out.println("UUID=" + uuid.toString() );
    }
}

java.util.UUID.randomUUID（）;

这个答案包含2个生成器，用于基于随机和基于名称的uuid，符合RFC-4122。请随意使用和分享。

RANDOM-BASED (v4)

这个工具类生成基于随机的uuid:

package your.package.name;

import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.UUID;

/**
 * Utility class that creates random-based UUIDs.
 * 
 */
public abstract class RandomUuidCreator {

    private static final int RANDOM_VERSION = 4;

    /**

     * 
     * It uses a thread local {@link SecureRandom}.
     * 
     * @return a random-based UUID
     */
    public static UUID getRandomUuid() {
        return getRandomUuid(SecureRandomLazyHolder.THREAD_LOCAL_RANDOM.get());
    }

    /**

     * 
     * It uses any instance of {@link Random}.
     * 
     * @return a random-based UUID
     */
    public static UUID getRandomUuid(Random random) {

        long msb = 0;
        long lsb = 0;

        // (3) set all bit randomly
        if (random instanceof SecureRandom) {
            // Faster for instances of SecureRandom
            final byte[] bytes = new byte[16];
            random.nextBytes(bytes);
            msb = toNumber(bytes, 0, 8); // first 8 bytes for MSB
            lsb = toNumber(bytes, 8, 16); // last 8 bytes for LSB
        } else {
            msb = random.nextLong(); // first 8 bytes for MSB
            lsb = random.nextLong(); // last 8 bytes for LSB
        }

        // Apply version and variant bits (required for RFC-4122 compliance)
        msb = (msb & 0xffffffffffff0fffL) | (RANDOM_VERSION & 0x0f) << 12; // apply version bits
        lsb = (lsb & 0x3fffffffffffffffL) | 0x8000000000000000L; // apply variant bits

        // Return the UUID
        return new UUID(msb, lsb);
    }

    private static long toNumber(final byte[] bytes, final int start, final int length) {
        long result = 0;
        for (int i = start; i < length; i++) {
            result = (result << 8) | (bytes[i] & 0xff);
        }
        return result;
    }

    // Holds thread local secure random
    private static class SecureRandomLazyHolder {
        static final ThreadLocal<Random> THREAD_LOCAL_RANDOM = ThreadLocal.withInitial(SecureRandom::new);
    }

    /**
     * For tests!
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("// Using thread local `java.security.SecureRandom` (DEFAULT)");
        System.out.println("RandomUuidCreator.getRandomUuid()");
        System.out.println();
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            System.out.println(RandomUuidCreator.getRandomUuid());
        }

        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("// Using `java.util.Random` (FASTER)");
        System.out.println("RandomUuidCreator.getRandomUuid(new Random())");
        System.out.println();
        Random random = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            System.out.println(RandomUuidCreator.getRandomUuid(random));
        }
    }
}

输出如下:

RandomUuidCreator.getRandomUuid()

您还可以使用uuid-creator库。请看这些例子:

// Create a random-based UUID
UUID uuid = UuidCreator.getRandomBased();

// Create a name based UUID (SHA1)
String name = "JUST_A_TEST_STRING";
UUID uuid = UuidCreator.getNameBasedSha1(name);
