I don't think there's anything wrong with `import random`, it should
simple import the standard random module. This seems to be either a
problem in your setup or a Jython bug.

Why are you trying to run Robot Framework directly from Java in your
Maven plugin? Couldn't you simply run it through the system and then
be able to use both Python and Jython interpreters? I think that was
the idea in the prototype version that was created some time ago [1].
Anyway, this discussion is probably better continued on
robotframework-users mailing list.
