Brent Worden commented on LANG-900:
-----------------------------------
How about the ability to supply a user defined Random instance?
{code}
public static byte[] nextBytes(int count) {
return nextBytes(count, RANDOM);
}
public static byte[] nextBytes(int count, Random rng) {
Validate.isTrue(count >= 0, "Count cannot be negative.");
byte[] result = new byte[count];
rng.nextBytes(result);
return result;
}
{code}
> New RandomUtils class
> ---------------------

> Key: LANG-900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-900
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Duncan Jones
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: RandomUtils.java, RandomUtilsTest.java
>
>
> Attached is a new {{RandomUtils}} class and associated test, which offers
> some methods not available in the standard {{Random}} class:
> - a {{nextBytes(int count)}} method that returns a byte array
> - versions of {{nextInt}}, {{nextLong}}, {{nextFloat}} and {{nextDouble}}
> that return a value within a range.
> Comments very welcome!
