I need to generate random numbers in java, and I need them to be completely evenly distributed(or close to that) specifically I need to generate around 300 numbers between 1 and 100...

math random method is not helping, nor any other traditional random method. the problem is the numbers I get from those methods repeat themselves after a certain time, or that they are not evenly distributed(so I get more than half the numbers below 50 and less than half above it...)

any ideas?
