 Description   

When creating my own ObjectId using a mac address "2e:20:8b:40:4e:01", the Java Driver throws IllegalArgumentException because of the ":" in the mac address and the length of the mac address. It looks like this should be ok according to the BSON spec?

Yeah, that is not a valid string representation of an ObjectId. The MAC address is just one piece of it.

Jeff,

I was getting the error when programmatically creating the ObjectId() as a new ObjectId("2e:20:8b:40:4e:01"), I have changed it to do it as part of persisting the document, and that work fine. Unless you see a problem with creating an new ObjectId using that constructor, then you might as well close this issue. Thanks

Can you attach a test program please?
