How do you generate a unique ID for your application

How do you generate a unique ID for your application in the manifext.cfg file?

Does it really matter, will any random sequence do? Or are the stings hashed on a filkename or registered somewhere so they wont be repeated?

And if there is a way to do it inside Elcipse, then sorry for the newb question but I did not see the way.

Eclipse will make a unique UUID every time you generate a new project. If you have an existing project and wish to manually modify the UUID, you should generate one. According to the Monkey C Programmer's Guide, the framework uses version 4 UUIDs which you can generate using this online tool.
