====== Create a md5 hash in java with eclipse ======

Spring does have a not-well-known utility called 
[[http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/util/DigestUtils.html|DigestUtils]] who allows
you to create md5 hashes easily. Here is an example:

<code>
import org.springframework.util.DigestUtils;

public class Example
{

public static void main( String[] args )
{
  System.out.println(  DigestUtils.md5DigestAsHex( "Hello world".getBytes() )  );
} // main

}

</code>


However, bear in mind that the javadoc says that //"Mainly for internal use within the framework; consider Apache Commons Codec for a more comprehensive suite of digest utilities"//.
