title: Comparing UUIDs in Java
body: <p>Do UUID in Java for String objects will be the same if those strings are equal? If not, Is there a way/tool to generate string (with proper UUID format) that will stay the same if will be computed on equal string? I need some kind of hash for string, that keep UUID format. Is there something like this in Java?</p>
  
  <p>[Edit]:
  You will propably ask what exacly I am trying to do. I am making a part of application that will translate object from one servis to another. One of those servises indentity object by UUID. Second one do not store it. I do not want to cach whole data of those services, so I have to generate that UUID somehow.  </p>
