Just a quick suggestion: Add a convenience method in org.bukkit.Server to get an OfflinePlayer object with a UUID string. Currently anyone who wishes to get an offline player if they have the UUID in string form, they have to use this: Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID.fromString("<uuid of player>"));
This can be done simply by putting the line above in a method in org.bukkit.Server: public OfflinePlayer getOfflinePlayerWithUUID(String uuid){ return this.getOfflinePlayer(UUID.fromString(uuid)); } |

And that's the catch: To support multiple UUID formats. The method requires an UUID, so just create it. You might even reuse the UUID object for other methods. |

Would be nice if it accepted trimmed and un-trimmed uuids. (Eg. with and without the dashes) |
