> 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.
> {code}private static final Random RANDOM = new Random();{code}
> 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.
