I was being unclear, I was wanting setId() to be public.

The goal of what I have been unable to communicate would be a single
AbstractComponent class, further consolidating
AbstractInitializableComponent,
AbstractIdentifiedInitializableComponent, and
AbstractIdentifiableInitializableComponent.

I was referring to Daniel's comment regarding getId(), and was
thinking of Object.toString(), i.e. :

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Apologies for the phone auto-correct, meant @NonnullAfterInit.
