These are the problems with javadoc of jdk1.2beta4E:

1. Javadoc says:
  "The algorithms implemented by class <tt>Random</tt> use three state
   variables, which are protected"
  These variables are private, not protected.

2. JavaDoc for methods
   nextInt()
   nextLong()
   nextFloat()
   nextDouble()
   nextGaussian()
   incorrectly mention setSeed method:
   "The method setSeed is implemented by class Random as follows ... "
               ^^^^^^^
3. Spec for method nextBytes is incomplete:
    /**
     * Generates a user specified number of random bytes.
     *
     * @since JDK1.1
     */
    public void nextBytes(byte[] bytes)

   It should specify the exact behaviour.
