See below for an example.  For the latter, you can use the -S option with a
positive integer.

import swarm.Globals;
import swarm.random.BernoulliDist;
import swarm.random.BernoulliDistImpl;
import swarm.defobj.Zone;

public class BernoulliTest {
    public static void main (String args []) {
        Globals.env.initSwarm ("BernoulliTest", "0.0", "address@hidden",
                               args);
        Zone aZone = Globals.env.globalZone;
        
        // force a seed, even if -s or -S is set
        // Globals.env.randomGenerator.setStateFromSeed (2);

        BernoulliDist bernoulliDist = 
            new BernoulliDistImpl (aZone, Globals.env.randomGenerator, .5);

        System.out.println (bernoulliDist.getIntegerSample ());
    }
}
