capture keyboard input

what is the object and method used to read user input from the keyboard when using the console window (java application)?

for example, i simple want to prompt the user for two int's i.e. length and width, assign the values to a variable and then calculate the area of a shape.

thx.

is the scanner class the most appropriate for this?System.out.println("Enter Length: ");length = keyboard.nextInt( );

Read the "Scanning" and "I/O from the Command Line" topics here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
