import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class Test
{
   long randomNumberSeed = System.currentTimeMillis();
   Random randomNumberGenerator = new Random(randomNumberSeed);
   int randomInt = randomNumberGenerator.nextInt();
}

See the Sun Java docs for the Random class.

randomNumberGenerator.nextInt();

Yeah, I knew someone would beat me to that answer, so I posted the other answer.  ;)

Really, though, use either one, but know the Random class.  It's more powerful and flexible than Math.random().
