Nice.

I guess that blindness that comes from viewing the same thing too often.

Perhaps following the rule of thumb that variables should be declared 
with as tight a scope as possible should be applied here:

  import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

  public class UniqueThreadIdGenerator {

      private static final ThreadLocal < Integer > uniqueNum =
          new ThreadLocal < Integer > () {
              final AtomicInteger uniqueId = new AtomicInteger(0);
              @Override protected Integer initialValue() {
                  return uniqueId.getAndIncrement();
              }
          };

      public static int getCurrentThreadId() {
          return uniqueNum.get();
      }
  } // UniqueThreadIdGenerator
