Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1012:
-----------------------------------
I like the idea here. This is why we defined RandomGenerator in the first
place, but this code predates it. An alternative to RandomUtils might be to
follow the pattern of JDKRandomGenertor - explicitly subclass SecureRandom and
implement only the needed methods. I guess you then still have the factory
problem to deal with then, so could be you end up having to wrap in any case.
So I am OK with the RandomUtils setup, but we should call it something else -
e.g. RandomGeneratorFactory or Random2RandomGenerator.

> Some duplication exists in "o.a.c.m.random.RandomDataGenerator".
> That partly arises from having a method that requires a
> "o.a.c.m.random.RandomGenerator" parameter vs a similar method but with a
> "java.security.SecureRandom" parameter.
