Error message when attempting to import Java library

Processing Beginners

As the title says. I was attempting to import java.util.random using “import java.util.random;” and got an error message:

Libraries must be installed in a folder named ‘libraries’ inside the sketchbook folder (see the Preferences window).
The package “java.util.random” does not exist. You might be missing a library.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s capital Random, not random: import java.util.Random;

However, Processing got its own “easier” random() function:
