As nightwind pointed out below, this is no surprise really. You'd be really crazy to use the typical language random number generator in just about any language, including Java, for any task that requires true randomness (e.g. generating encryption keys). But they're just fine for routine tasks. The random number generators that come with many JCE providers (e.g. Sun's or Bouncy Castle's) are much better. As far as I know, *no* pure software random number implementation is going to be perfect.
