JDK1.1.8 'Random'

Question

Hi
Im having a problem compiling my program that requires a random generator. The error says I have passed the wrong number of arguments, but I have taken my example straight from the textbook I am using. I am wondering if this is a version issue or if theres any other way to correct this.
As the title says I am using jdk1.1.8
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Program
import java.util.Random;
public class recursive
public static void main (String[] args)
int b=1000;
for (int x=1; x<=10; x++)
Random rndgen = new Random();
int d = rndgen.nextInt(1999)-999;
if (b!=d)
System.out.print(d+ " ");
else
x--;
b=d;
System.out.println();
private Random rndgen;
Error msg
recursive.java:11: Wrong number of arguments in method.
     int d = rndgen.nextInt(1999)-999;

Under 1.1 you can't specify an argument, this feature was implemented in the 1.2 specification. Try removing the argument to nextInt() and your program will compile.
Probably worth upgrading your compiler to 1.2.2 or later
