Using probablePrime to generate prime number. probablePrime(512, randomSeed);

I am trying to generate a random prime number using probablePrime method of BigInteger class. this is a lotus notes version 6.5 agent that i am trying to work on.

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.util.Random;

    public class RSA{

        public static BigInteger genPrimeNum(int bitlen, Random random){
            return BigInteger.probablePrime(bitlen, random);
            }

    }

When compiling I get error saying method probablePrime(int, java.util.Random) not found in class BigInteger

Please help.

Thanks in advance!!
