Hi,
I'm using [Sham
|http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.shamdata%7Csham%7C0.3%7Cjar] to
generate realistic looking test data for both parameterized tests and user
acceptance testing. We log the seed that is used for each run so that if there
is an issue we can recreate exactly the same test data. I would also like to
use some of the commons-lang RandomStringUtils functionality but notice that
the implementation provides no way of setting the random number generator to be
used.
{{ private static final Random RANDOM = new Random(); }}
A way to configure this would be really useful. If there is an alternative way
to do this then that would be great. If you think it's a good idea and it
requires a patch I'm happy to supply one.
Cheers,
Gus.
