is this as expected (Random can't be used in a static method) ?????

public static void test() {  // static method
                Log.info("random int "+Random.nextInt(6));
}

----->throws a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
com.google.gwt.user.client.Random.nextInt(I)I

BUT ...

com.google.gwt.user.client.Random;

        public void test() { // non-static method
                Log.info("random int: "+Random.nextInt(6));


----->IS OK!!!


--------- a l s o ----------


java.util.Random random = new Random;

public static void test() {  // static method
                Log.info("random int "+random.nextInt(6));
}

----->throws a nullpointer

BUT ...



public void test() {  // not static
                Log.info("random int "+random.nextInt(6));
}

----->is fine!!!



Aaaaaaah.  Damn, I just re-factored for hours and made a static
reusable utility class...


Why can't I do that by the way?
