I notice similar case in below tests:

test/java/util/zip/ZipFile/FinalizeZipFile.java
     Test need some zip file to test on. Random is used to generate the 
zip file name.
test/java/util/zip/ZipFile/ReadZip.java
     Random is used to generate a non-existing file name for negative test

@randomness might not needed for following tests where test need a zip 
file to test on, and Random is used to fill some content to the file in 
createZipFile().

test/java/util/zip/ZipFile/MultiThreadedReadTest.java
test/java/util/zip/ZipFile/ClearStaleZipFileInputStreams.java
