Please suggest good java library available in maven repository which can be imported in my project and help me generate fake data for my test automation scripts.

We suggest you to use Java Faker Library.
This library is a port of Ruby's faker gem that generates fake data. It's useful when you're developing a new project and need some pretty data for showcase.
Its maven dependency also available:
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.javafaker</groupId> <artifactId>javafaker</artifactId> <version>1.0.1</version> </dependency>
Example of usage can be as below:
Faker faker = new Faker(); String name = faker.name().fullName(); // Miss Samanta Schmidt String firstName = faker.name().firstName(); // Emory String lastName = faker.name().lastName(); // Barton String streetAddress = faker.address().streetAddress(); // 60018 Sawayn Brooks Suite 449
You can have look at Java Docs available under path:
