[Java] Keyboard input

 

I'm feeling very foolish,

How do you take a line of input from the keyboard? I'm OK with the Swing methods, but how is it done in a 'console' application? The only way I've discovered to do this is by passing in the stuff with command line args; this is untenable for extended data entry.

I come from a world where library functions (AKA class methods) can be called to return a character or line of text, directly into a local variable. I want a method (AKA function) to do that.

I'm hoping some kind soul will disclose this hidden method (I've spent the evening scouring the Sun site at http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html to no avail), to prevent madness or a return to the dark side.
