/**
* RandomJava is a class wrapper for the Math.random()
* generator that comes with Java.  I know nothing about the
* quality of Math.random(), but I will warn the
* reader that system-supplied
* RNGs have a bad reputation;  RandomJava is NOT
* reccomended for general use,  it has only been included as a
* straightforward example of how to
* build a RandomElement wrapper for an existing RNG.
* The RANMAR, RANECU and RANLUX
* generators included in this package all appear to be faster than
* Math.random();  all three are well-studied,  portable and
* proven in use.
*
* 
* 
* Source code  is available.
