They would start from the same seed so if they're calling that Random in the same pattern then yes -- they'd get the same values. Any real randomness will be non-reproducible. If this is needed for a test (and you know it won't be a problem if the test doesn't reproduce) then you could just do new Random() instead of calling LuceneTestCase's generator. D.
