UUID UUID_1
= UUID
.fromString(
"58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66" );
System.out.println( "UUID: "
+ UUID_1);
System.out.println( "The variant number is: "
+ UUID_1.variant());
}
}

Output:
UUID: 58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66
The variant number is: 2
Program 2:
import java.util.*;
public class UUID_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
UUID UUID_1
