Migrate customer defined calendar to Sun Java Calendar

Question

I am planning to build a XML formated file from my in house build calendar system and use Sun Java Calendar import functionality to import the data to Sun Calendar system.
following is an sample of an entry by XML
<EVENT>
     <UID>0000000000000000000000000000000042dd782200002d760000024c000001b8</UID>

     <SUMMARY>Somthing</SUMMARY>

     <X-NSCP-GSE-COMPONENT-STATE X-NSCP-GSE-COMMENT="PUBLISH-COMPLETED">65538</X-NSCP-GSE-COMPONENT-STATE>

Can anybody tell me how can I get a UID?
What's <X-NSCP-GSE-COMPONENT-STATE X-NSCP-GSE-COMMENT="PUBLISH-COMPLETED">
What's <DTSTAMP>20050725T194431Z</DTSTAMP>
Thanks a lot!

Look at RFC2446 it defnes the iCal format.
On page 58 it states:
the "DTSTAMP" property specifies the date/time that iCalendar object was created.
