One more thing...

In Java 5 one can make a static import:
import static java.lang.System.out;

allowing one to write:
out.println("Enter you name: ");

Try this:

public class Sysin {

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("Enter you name: ");
        String name = br.readLine();
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

Hello

I am fairly new to Java and want to start with simple console programs (ie
text based - not GUI).

I can output easily using System.out.println - but been searching web as to
how to get input from console and finding all sorts of different ways. What
is the elegant way? Or most accepted/standard/easiest way to do it?

I thought I should be able to use something like System.in.read ? No?
