Sure, see below.

That's not a bad approach, since it gives you complete control if you
have several random steams you want to control for debugging purposes.

import swarm.Globals;

public class TestSetSeed {
    static void main (String args[]) {
        Globals.env.initSwarm ("TestSetSeed", "0.0", "address@hidden",
                               args);

        Globals.env.randomGenerator.setStateFromSeed (1);

        double val =
            Globals.env.uniformDblRand.getDoubleWithMin$withMax (0.0, 1.0);

        System.out.println (val);
    }
}
