Duncan Jones commented on TEXT-34:
----------------------------------
Thanks for those links, Giles.
So shall I just crack on and make TEXT dependent upon RNG? If we see TEXT as a
second-level component, as I've heard mentioned on the mailing lists, then that
would be the right choice. We can become the poster-child for doing randomness
correctly.
In which case, I would adjust the {{usingRandom}} method to accept a
{{UniformRandomProvider}} argument. Does that sound ok? What would be your
recommendation for the default generator to use for the class, if one is not
provided?

> Project: Commons Text
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Duncan Jones
> Assignee: Duncan Jones
>
> The {{RandomStringUtils}} class will be deprecated in Commons Lang and reborn
> in Commons Text.
> Because the original class has some complicated parameters and potentially
> unnecessary capabilities, I'll simplify as I move it across. I'll also ensure
> the class plays nicely with Unicode characters.
