Class UUIDClock

com.fasterxml.uuid.UUIDClock

public class UUIDClock
extends Object

UUIDClock is used by UUIDTimer to get the current time. The default implementation returns the time from the system clock, but this class can be overriden to return any number. This is useful when UUIDs with past or future timestamps should be generated, or when UUIDs must be generated in a reproducible manner.
