how would you convert an ordinary 'int' integer into a java BigDecimal? i
have a java line that produces random java integers in the range 1 - 9 and i
want next to convert these integers into java BigDecimals. how would i do
this?

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal (j);

Are you sure you don't want BigInteger?

If you did then new BigInteger( String ) will do it. You must convert
your int to String first. see

for how.

If you want BigDecimal there is new BigDecimal ( int ). I am puzzled
why you had a problem with that one.
