I when using this annotation 

@PathParam("id") @NotNull UUID uuid

Eclipse will show this warning:
"JSR-311, 3.2: The class java.util.UUID should have a constructor that accepts a single java.lang.String argument, or have a static method named valueOf that accepts a single java.lang.String argument."

Which is true but the JSR-311 explicitly also falls back to fromString() when no valueOf() method is found.

"4. Types that have a static method named valueOf or fromString with a single String argument that return an instance of the type. If both methods are present then
valueOf MUST be used unless the type is an enum in which case fromString MUST be used."
