I don't see the downside of using a different "fixed" ("fixed" for the run of 
the test, not "fixed" as you mean it) seed for each run of the unit tests, e.g. 
based on the test start time millis, and log the seed so that reproduction in 
case of test failure is possible since we're working with pseudo-random 
generators which can be re-initialized with the same seed to produce the same 
pseudo-random results. In case you agree, how do I initialize a Commons RNG 
with such a variable seed?

Agreed. I chose 1024.

> Comment out debugging output ("System.out.println")

I'm a huge fan of configurable logging framework which on the one hand require 
the evaluation of one very cheap statement, but on the other minimize 
controversy between devs and avoid adding previously deleted code (since you 
can turn logging statements off in your `logback.xml` or whather is used). I 
wouldn't speak of "debugging" statements since it's either debugging or 
logging. The logging of the generator seed is necessary unless the above is 
wrong, I guess you'll shed some light on this issue.

Do you have interest in adding a logging framework (I suggest slf4j-api + 
logback-classic). There're about 100 System.out.print statements in the code, 
some commented out. I'd provide a patch if you want.

> Apply a uniform coding style (e.g. there must be a space around operators, 
> and the tabulation is wrong).

I suggest you move `maven-checkstyle-plugin` from `reporting` to `build` with 
{code:java}

  
checkstyle

  check

validate
  

{code}
That reveals some hundred issues which should either be silenced or fixed 
(almost all of them are Javadoc issues which you might deactive for the check 
and put on your schedule to fix later). It minimizes communication overhead 
before reviewing contributions like in this situation. The issues you're 
describing are not revealed by checkstyle and I didn't figure out what you mean 
by wrong tabulation - no need to explain if you change the checkstyle, since 
then I can rebase the patch.

I don't see the downside of using a different "fixed" ("fixed" for the run of 
the test, not "fixed" as you mean it) seed for each run of the unit tests, e.g. 
based on the test start time millis, and log the seed so that reproduction in 
case of test failure is possible since we're working with pseudo-random 
generators which can be re-initialized with the same seed to produce the same 
pseudo-random results. In case you agree, how do I initialize a Commons RNG 
with such a variable seed? If you don't I'll comply with your explanation.

Agreed. I chose 1024.

I'm a huge fan of configurable logging framework which on the one hand require 
the evaluation of one very cheap statement, but on the other minimize 
controversy between devs and avoid adding previously deleted code (since you 
can turn logging statements off in your `logback.xml` or whather is used). I 
wouldn't speak of "debugging" statements since it's either debugging or 
logging. The logging of the generator seed is necessary unless the above is 
wrong, I guess you'll shed some light on this issue.

Do you have interest in adding a logging framework (I suggest slf4j-api + 
logback-classic). There're about 100 System.out.print statements in the code, 
some commented out. I'd provide a patch if you want.

> Apply a uniform coding style (e.g. there must be a space around operators, 
> and the tabulation is wrong).

I suggest you move `maven-checkstyle-plugin` from `reporting` to `build` with 
{code:java}

  
checkstyle

  check

validate
  

{code}
That reveals some hundred issues which should either be silenced or fixed 
(almost all of them are Javadoc issues which you might deactive for the check 
and put on your schedule to fix later). It minimizes communication overhead 
before reviewing contributions like in this situation. The issues you're 
describing are not revealed by checkstyle and I didn't figure out what you mean 
by wrong tabulation - no need to explain if you change the checkstyle, since 
then I can rebase the patch.

[jira] [Created] (LANG-1382) Provide method to generate random numbers without range restriction for all numeric types

2018-03-02 Thread Karl Richter (JIRA)
Karl Richter created LANG-1382:
--

 Summary: Provide method to generate random numbers without range 
restriction for all numeric types
 Key: LANG-1382
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1382
 Project: Commons Lang
  Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Karl Richter


`RandomUtils` only allows to generate random numbers of different numeric types 
(`byte`, `short`, `double`, etc.) within the range 0 (inclusive) and the 
maximum value of the respective type. It'd be nice if there were methods to 
create random numbers for the range between the minimal and the maximal value 
for all numeric types.

I'm aware of workarounds like 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27976857/how-to-get-random-number-with-negative-number-in-range,
 but they're not tested and require quite some thinking which can be avoided 
(which is afaik one of the many motivations for the Apache commons libraries).

If such methods already exist they should be definitely linked in the Javadoc 
of `RandomUtils`.
