the following:

        public class Test1 extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {

                public void startApp() {
                        Random rand = new Random();
                        System.out.println(rand.nextInt(5));
                }
        .
        .
        .

from the J2me compiler gets:

        home/kloro/cell/WTK2.2/apps/Test1/src/Test1.java:11: nextInt()
in
                java.util.Random cannot be applied to (int)
        System.out.println(rand.nextInt(5));

yet the doc' for Random states in the methods section:

        nextInt(int n) - Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed
int value
        between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive),
drawn from this
        random number generator's sequence.

same type of result for long, double, short.


Which documentation are you using for the J2ME API?
