UUIDLib is a library that allows you to create an identifier using any character sequence that points to a UUID with Bukkit. This Library allows for enhanced security and ease-of-use when trying to identify players. For example, if you were creating a plugin like lockette, simply having a person's name isn't enough. Players can now change their names and so using a person's name will not guarantee that it will be the same player every time they log in. This wouldn't be a major issue, except that UUID's are very long and impractical. UUID's cannot be used by people.
To combat this issue, I have created this library. Let's say that a player creates a locket sign with the name "zachoooo". If you look up the UUID with that identifier, you will always get the same player regardless of whether or not they changed their name. This has a variety of applications besides that. You can make it easier to refer to players in commands and ensure you're performing actions to a player with a specific UUID and more.
