How do I create a code that generates random text?

How do I create a code that generates random text?

I know how to create a random int generator for colors, but not for text.

I want to display three different phrases randomly upon my mouse leaving the canvas. ex. public void onMouseExit(Location point)

I'm using Blue J/objectdraw by the way.

You could put the phrases into an array, then use a randomly chosen value as the index into that array.

I'm sorry I don't exactly understand how to do that... Example would be nice?

I'm sure it would, but, assuming you already know how to copy/paste, you wouldn't learn anything new that way.

Which part are you having trouble with? This?

[rokit boy]

import java.util.Random;

public class Main {
    int rand = new Random().nextInt(HOW MUCH YOU WANT THE LARGEST NUMBER TO BE) + 1;
    System.out.print(ran);
}

SORRY THAT'S AN INT, I DIDN'T READ THE POST.

ContoNick, please don't spoonfeed. That deprives the questioner of the opportunity to learn. I've edited your post and removed the full solution.

rokit boy, we still don't know what part the OP is stuck on. I've broken the problem into three parts, we should wait for a reply so that we don't waste effort and forum space suggesting what is already known.
