public class MersenneTwister extends BitsStreamGenerator implements Serializable
This generator features an extremely long period (219937-1) and 623-dimensional equidistribution up to 32 bits accuracy. The home page for this generator is located at http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html.
This generator is described in a paper by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura in 1998: Mersenne Twister: A 623-Dimensionally Equidistributed Uniform Pseudo-Random Number Generator, ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation, Vol. 8, No. 1, January 1998, pp 3--30
This class is mainly a Java port of the 2002-01-26 version of the generator written in C by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura. Here is their original copyright:

This method is the core generation algorithm. It is used by all the
public generation methods for the various primitive types BitsStreamGenerator.nextBoolean(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextBytes(byte[]), BitsStreamGenerator.nextDouble(),
BitsStreamGenerator.nextFloat(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextGaussian(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextInt(),
next(int) and BitsStreamGenerator.nextLong().
