The following code works on my system using JDK 1.4.0 and Windows 2000:
* * *
package test.io;
import java.io.*;
public class ConsoleInput {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
String s = in.readLine();
System.out.println("Echo: " + s);
}
}
* * *
There are some issues with reading console input on Win 9x systems that have
nothing to do with Cygwin. See, e.g., Java Developer Connection Bug
#4071281 at
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4071281.html. Are
you using a Windows 9x flavor?
Silly question: Have you tried running it simply under DOS?
