Class IdGenerator

java.lang.Object
org.spdx.maven.utils.IdGenerator
public class IdGenerator extends Object
Singleton class to generate IDs in a reproducible fashion.

The IDs are generated by hashing a string which should be based on a property(s) of the element for which the ID is being created. That property should be reproducible across different builds in different build environments.

The IDs will always be unique - if two calls are made to create ID with the same string, then a counter will be appended.
