Sadly, Java has no internal, easy methods for user input at the command line. There are, however, numerous input classes that you can download for free. I started Java 3 years ago with the SavitchIn.java class, which has all the standard input methods. SavitchIn is all over the web, if you want to check it out.

Not very difficult here is a sample.

import java.io.*;

public class TestInput {
  private static BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader(System.in));

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    String name = null;

    /* Get Input */
    System.out.print("Enter Name: ");
    System.out.flush();
    name = stdIn.readLine();
  
    System.out.println("Name entered is \"" + name + "\"");
  }

}
