Hoss Man commented on SOLR-10338:
---------------------------------

bq. As far as the IDEs concerned, we could also do that. Probably this is not 
that much of a pain as the ant setting, because on your desktop you usually 
have just enough entropy and you run only parts of the test suite at once. 

bq. That \@BeforeClass approach is much stricter. This would mean that if the 
flag is not set, all Solr tests fail, and the output of the test run will 
become useless. Maybe a single test is just enough as an indicator test. Or are 
you thinking of failing the tests fast and to prevent false negative tests?

In both cases i am specifically thinking about failing fast -- regardless of 
how the tests are run -- to help ensure that we don't get false negatives from 
tests because people don't have enough entroy *AND* are somehow running the 
test in a way that avoids our efforts at "reproducibility" in what the source 
of entropy is. (so that there should always be enough entroy)

> It would be best if SecureRandom could be made non blocking. In that case we
