Sebb commented on LANG-778:
---------------------------

Since the methods must necessarily be inverses of each other, I think the 
current names are not ideal.

toByteArray()
fromBytes()

I'd prefer either

toBytes/fromBytes
or
toByteArray/fromByteArray

but any other pairing that differs only by the to/from prefix would be fine.
                
> Add UUIDUtils.toByteArray and UUIDUtils.fromByteArray

> A UUID represents 16 bytes. In some situation (e.g. using DBs that do not 
> have native support for the type UUID) it is necessary to use directly the 
> bytes. The JDK does not support the transformation from UUID to bytes and 
> back, therefore I'd like to add UUIDUtils with the two proposed methods.
